- Tabatha Ricci faces Virna Jandiroba on Saturday in the UFC Vegas 115 co-main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

- Jandiroba enters ranked No. 3 after a decision loss to Dern for the interim title and she describes this fight as a restart.
- DraftKings lists Jandiroba as a slight favorite at -130, signaling bettors expect her grappling to shape the fight.
- The matchup pits Ricci’s striking and strong takedown defense against Jandiroba’s submission game, and the winner could get Dern next unless Weili Zhang returns to 115 pounds first.
