Suffers first pro defeat
Dudakova lost to Sam Hughes via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
The 30-27 scorecard in favor of Dudakova is about the worst you will ever see. Yes, she clearly won the opening round and was the much more effective fighter early on, but she gassed out in a major way over the course of the final ten minutes. Hughes was the much fresher fighter and did enough over the final seven or eight minutes to earn the decision. Dudakova is still just 25 years of age and has legitimate skills, but you aren't going to defeat some of the best in the world unless you possess three-round cardio. Dudakova falls to 2-1 in her first three UFC bouts.

Back from illness
Dudakova (illness) is scheduled to compete against Sam Hughes in a strawweight fight at UFC Abu Dhabi on Aug. 3, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
At the onset of 2024, Dudakova was scheduled to compete against Melissa Gatto at UFC Atlantic City on March 30 before coming down with an illness and pulling out of the fight late. Dudakova will look to prolong her undefeated streak to nine bouts against an opponent one loss away from having more losses than wins across her MMA career.

Pulls out of fight last-minute
Dudakova's scheduled matchup against Melissa Gatto at UFC Atlantic City last Saturday was cancelled last-minute after Dudakova came down with an illness, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It's an incredibly tough break for fantasy players counting on either fighter, as they had little recourse due to the late-notice cancellation of the bout. It's unclear how serious the illness Dudakova was facing was, or whether the UFC will attempt to re-book these two at a later date. She did not in an Instagram post the following day that she hopes to "come back ASAP."

Gatto next up
Dudakova will take on Melissa Gatto at UFC Atlantic City on March 30, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what weight class this will be contested at, as Dudakova last weighed in at strawweight, improving her professional record to 8-0-0 in an October bout against Jinh Yu Frey. Gatto, meanwhile, has most recently competed at flyweight, where she dropped her second consecutive fight to Ariane Lipski last July. Dudakova will be at a slight reach disadvantage, but appears to own a sizable edge in offensive wrestling volume, while conceding only slightly in striking volume.
