The UFC is gearing up for an exciting April 4th card in Las Vegas, and it's packed with top-tier strawweight talent. But here's where it gets controversial: the main event attraction is yet to be announced, leaving fans speculating and guessing.
One thing's for sure: the card will feature a highly anticipated Brazil vs. Brazil showdown between Virna Jandiroba and Tabatha Ricci. This will be Jandiroba's first fight since her title challenge against Mackenzie Dern in October. The Brazilian fighter was on a five-fight winning streak before that, and she's looking to get back in the win column.
Jandiroba, known as 'Carcara', has an impressive record of 8-4 since joining the UFC in 2019. She's a former Invicta FC champion and has collected victories against notable names like Yan Xiaonan, Amanda Lemos, Loopy Godinez, Marina Rodriguez, and Angela Hill.
Ricci, on the other hand, has been on a roll since 2021, with seven wins in 10 octagon appearances. She's known as 'Baby Shark' and has only been defeated twice in strawweight bouts, both by decisions to Xiaonan and Godinez. Ricci has scored wins against veterans like Hill, Tecia Pennington, Gillian Robertson, and Jessica Penne.
So, who will come out on top in this highly anticipated Brazil vs. Brazil showdown? Will Jandiroba bounce back from her title loss and get back to winning ways? Or will Ricci continue her winning streak and make a statement? We'll have to wait and see, but one thing's for sure: this fight will be an exciting addition to the April 4th card in Las Vegas. And this is the part most people miss: the UFC's main event attraction is yet to be announced, so the speculation and excitement are only just beginning. So, what do you think? Who will win?
