“I just had a go since like last year to be ranked. I think now I deserve (to be ranked) since I’ve got three wins straight, especially over Jessica. I don’t have specific names. Whatever my managers and UFC think is going to be good for me, I’m just waiting for the call. I’m ready. That’s my lifestyle. That’s what I do every day. I love what I do. I just can’t wait to go back to the gym. I always want to be active. It was not my fault that my opponents pull out. So if my body allows me to fight, I’m here to go.”
Ricci is now ranked is facing off against her toughest competition yet in Gillian Robertson at UFC on ABC 5 in Jacksonville.
