- Ricci said she will call for Mackenzie Dern’s belt if she defeats No. 3 Virna Jandiroba in the UFC Vegas 115 co-main event in Las Vegas.
- She noted she would yield priority only if former champion Zhang Weili returns to challenge Dern.
- Jandiroba last fought for the title at UFC 321, dropping a five-round decision to Dern after a strong run as a top-three contender.
- Ricci is 12-3 with a recent TKO of Amanda Ribas and said her judo and jiu-jitsu roots make her eager for grappling exchanges.
