UFC Fighters Ribas and Ricci Set for Undercard Showdown in July

New Orleans, Louisiana – Brazilian fighters Jessica Ribas and Jasmine Ricci will compete on the undercard of an upcoming UFC event scheduled for July 19. Multiple sources confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on May 11, 2025.
The pay-per-view event will be headlined by Louisiana native Donald Cerrone, who is making his retirement fight in front of a home crowd. Cerrone will take on BMF titleholder Jorge Masvidal in a highly anticipated five-round clash.
Ribas, with a record of 12-6, has experienced a fluctuating career. While she tallied five wins out of seven appearances in the strawweight division, her overall UFC record currently stands at 7-5 after frequently changing weight classes. Ribas aims to end a two-fight losing streak with this bout.
Meanwhile, Ricci, holding a record of 11-3, boasts six victories in her eight UFC fights at 115 pounds. After a loss in her flyweight debut in 2021, Ricci has defeated several seasoned fighters, but she seeks to bounce back after a defeat in November.
This matchup promises to be an exciting addition to the event, with both fighters eager to return to winning ways on a grand stage.
