Combat Profile

Tabatha Ricci, fighting out of Brazil, is an aggressive grappler known for her non-stop pace and submission threat. A product of the Chute Boxe Diego Lima team, she constantly pushes forward, looking to drag the fight to the mat where she hunts for chokes. Her volume striking serves as a setup for her takedowns, and she has shown a willingness to exchange wildly to secure the grappling advantage she desires.

Tactical Advantage

Ricci exploits opponents who cannot match her frantic pace or those who leave their neck exposed during transitions. She thrives against strikers who lack takedown defense, as she is relentless in her pursuit of the mat and dangerous from top position. By overwhelming foes with constant offense, she creates openings for her signature guillotine choke or rear-naked choke against tired defenders.
