“Dominant” – Virna Jandiroba Bests Tabatha Ricci At UFC Vegas 115

Jandiroba got off to a strong start, grabbing a hold of Ricci and scoring a pair of takedowns, making Ricci work back to her feet and out of her grasp. Ricci started to find the mark, working combinations and a couple of knees, but Jandiroba got behind Ricci and brought her back to the mat with more dominating control.

Ricci attempted to get the offense going in the third, but it was for naught. Jandiroba held her own on the feet and scored another takedown late in the third, nearly securing a choke in the closing seconds, to take the decision victory.

This was Jandiroba’s first fight since losing a women’s strawweight title bout with Mackenzie Dern at UFC 321. Jandiroba had won five straight before that fight.
