Tabatha Ricci
Tabatha Ricci Fabri Salto (born February 21, 1995) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist, currently competing in the women's Strawweight division in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of August 12, 2025, she is #8 in the UFC women's strawweight rankings.
Ricci was born and raised in Birigui, Brazil. She has an older sister. Following her father's footsteps, Ricci started training Judo at the age of six and took up Muay Thai at the age of 15. She started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 17, at 18 started to train Boxing and had her first professional bout.
She moved to Japan in 2017 for a year to compete in SEIZA competitions, before moving to the US to focus on mixed martial arts.
Right after turning eighteen, Ricci made her professional mixed martial arts debut. Having difficulties in finding bouts after winning her first two bouts, Ricci eventually moved to Japan in 2017 to train various disciplines and compete in custom rules bouts. In late 2017 she moved to California in order to focus in her Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In 2020 she signed a three-fight contract with Legacy Fighting Alliance where she ultimately won all of her bouts, defeating Kelsey Arnesen at LFA 90 by the way of unanimous decision, Vanessa Marie Grimes via first round armbar at LFA 98 and finally Shawna Ormsby at LFA 105 via TKO stoppage in the second round.
Replacing withdrawn Maryna Moroz, Ricci made her promotional debut on 4 days notice against Manon Fiorot on June 5, 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai. Ricci lost the bout via standing TKO in the second round.
Following her debut returned back to strawweight division and made her sophomore appearance in the organization against Maria Oliveira at UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori on October 23, 2021. She won the fight via unanimous decision.
Ricci faced Polyana Viana on May 21, 2022 at UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Vieira. She won the fight via unanimous decision.
Ricci was scheduled to face Cheyanne Vlismas on October 1, 2022 at UFC Fight Night 211. Vlismas pulled out in late August for personal reasons and was replaced by former UFC Women's Strawweight Championship challenger and inaugural Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Jessica Penne, however the fight was cancelled due to an illness with Penne on the day of the weigh in's.
