Virna Jandiroba and Tabatha Ricci are locked in for a main-card strawweight clash at UFC Fight Night 272, taking place at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Jandiroba enters the bout with a 22-4 MMA record and an 8-4 mark in the UFC, while Ricci brings a 12-3 MMA record and a 7-3 UFC slate into the matchup. MMAJunkie staff picks favor Jandiroba by a 7-3 margin, and FanDuel lists her as a slight favorite at -128, with Ricci set as a +104 underdog.
Ricci, known by the nickname "Baby Shark," is coming off a second-round stoppage of Amanda Ribas after a prior unanimous decision loss to Yan Xiaonan. Jandiroba, meanwhile, is looking to rebound after dropping a decision to Mackenzie Dern at UFC 321.

Jandiroba previously put together a five-fight winning streak starting in 2022, earning victories over Angela Hill, Marina Rodriguez, Loopy Godinez, Amanda Lemos and Yan Xiaonan. Ricci will aim to build on her latest finish and add a high-profile win to her resume in Las Vegas.
