•Yahoo Sports

Virna Jandiroba bounced back from her title fight loss vs. Mackenzie Dern with a clear UFC Vegas 115 win over Tabatha Ricci.

Virna Jandiroba was several levels above Tabatha Ricci in the grappling department at UFC Fight Night 272 . After falling short of the vacant strawweight title vs. Mackenzie Dern in October, Jandiroba (23-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) bounced back with a largely one-sided performance against Ricci (12-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in Saturday's co-headliner at Meta APEX in Las Vegas.

In the end, it was a unanimous decision triumph for Jandiroba by scores of 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28. Wrestling was the key to victory in the all-Brazilian affair. Jandiroba was able to take Ricci down and keep her there for the majority of the opening 10 minutes.

She even landed a hard shot that took Ricci off balance in the second round during a brief period on the feet. Sits her down 😳 [ @VirnaJandiroba | #UFCVegas115 | LIVE NOW on @ParamountPlus ] pic. twitter.
