Strawweight Viktoria Dudakova impressed UFC boss Dana White with her gutsy performance
Viktoria Dudakova has become the latest Russian to join the UFC ranks after her hard-fought victory over Brazilian favorite Maria Silva at the Dana White’s Contender Series 52 event in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
Dudakova, 23, headed into the bout at the UFC Apex facility unbeaten in five bouts but faced a step up in class against the 26-year-old Silva, who was unbeaten in eight contests and heavily fancied by the oddsmakers.
Making Dudakova’s task tougher, she was forced to fight through a knee injury in the latter stages which required checks from the cageside doctor before being cleared to continue for the third round.
But the Russian still produced the better work during the fight, particularly on the ground, and was rewarded with a unanimous decision – 29-28, 29-28, 29-28 – on the scorecards.
Viktoriia Dudakova garante a vitória por decisão unânime.
