“I think she is a tough opponent. She’s a UFC record holder for a reason, so I respect her. I’ll let my work in the Octagon speak for me. We’ll see how it goes.”
This fight is similar to the Penne fight for Ricci. She’s facing a veteran like Robertson or Penne as an opportunity to show that she not only belongs in the strawweight shark tank, but that she’s the shark they have to watch out for.
That’s why Ricci is so locked in. Beating Robertson is her ticket to becoming a true contender.
And she’s confident that she’s not going to let that opportunity slip.
“It’s going to be kill time,” Ricci said. “I’m going to be ready to live or die in that Octagon and I hope my opponent is ready for that, too.”
