Improves to 6-1 in past seven
Ricci defeated Angela Hill via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Ricci had to work for it, but she managed to emerged with her sixth victory in her past seven bouts. Tabatha pushed a very high pace from the very start, staying in tight against Hill and forcing her up against the fence. She ultimately landed three takedowns on four attempts and picked up at least 59 seconds worth of control time in each of the three rounds, closing with 5:04 overall. In a bout which was dead even from a striking standpoint, Ricci's edge in the grappling department ended up being the difference. Still just 29 years of age, "Baby Shark" is quietly climbing the rankings at 115 pounds.

Gets right back in win column
Ricci defeated Tecia Torres via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
Ricci dropped a split decision to Lupita Godinez in her most recent bout last November, but got the benefit of the doubt here. Ricci's 94-92 edge in total strikes landed was largely negated by the fact Pennington posted a 80-54 edge in significant strikes landed. With the women fighting to nearly even terms of the feet, Ricci landed the only takedown attempt and posted 5:15 worth of control time. It ended up being enough. Barely. The Brazilian improves to 5-1 in her past six bouts.

Will face Tecia Torres
Ricci will face Tecia Torres at UFC Vegas 92 on May 11th in a strawweight bout, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ricci saw her winning streak snapped at four after losing to Lupita Godinez via split decision at UFC 295 on Nov. 11. She might have the upper hand here against Torres due to her opponent's recent inactivity, and Ricci will aim to get back to winning ways in that event.
