""I think the pressure is always there. Everybody wants to get a finish. I'm not going to force anything, I don't think anybody has to. If you put hard work in, if you train hard, it'll be there. You've just got to believe.""
""I do think Weili of course, I don't know if she's going to retire but she probably wants to retire as a champ. So she does deserve to have a title shot back. We'll see how it's going to be, I'm just going to focus on my fight and be ready.""
""Yeah, any fight any time. Whatever takes me close to my goals, I'll be willing to do it.""
Tabatha Ricci faces Virna Jandiroba in a significant women's strawweight bout at UFC Vegas 115. Ricci, with a grappling background, believes pressure to finish fights is constant but not necessary. The strawweight division is currently transitioning, especially after Mackenzie Dern won the title. Ricci acknowledges Weili Zhang's potential return to the division and expresses her desire for a title fight following her match. She remains open to rematches with other fighters if a title shot does not materialize.
