Before Betting on Tabatha Ricci vs. Loopy Godinez
Tabatha Ricci is 9-1 overall, with her only loss happening on her flyweight debut – Manon Fiorot beat her by TKO. After the loss, she returned to the UFC Strawweight division and is 4-0 since, beating Maria Oliveira, Polyana Viana, Jessica Penne, and most recently, Gillian Robertson.
The fight with Robertson is interesting for several reasons, starting with the fact that the Canadian fighter is the record-holder for most submission wins in women’s UFC. Not only was Ricci able to avoid getting submitted, but she also made three takedowns in that fight.
In the three fights before that, she recorded a total of 14 takedowns, winning one of those fights by submission. Will she be able to take Loopy down? She might, but even if she doesn’t pull it off, it’s almost certain that the two will end up on the ground.
Godinez too likes making a lot of takedowns, with her career record being eight TDs against Ariane Carnelossi some 18 months ago. She makes a lot of TDs, but she rarely gets the job done on the floor. Godinez has only won by submission twice in her professional career.
One of those wins happened in her most recent fight when we saw her beat Elise Reed by a rear-naked choke on the sixth attempt.
