Improves to 2-2 with UFC
Ducote defeated Ashley Yoder via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Granted, it came against a far weaker opponent, but Ducote responded well on the heels of her unanimous decision loss to Lupita Godinez this past May. Outside of a token takedown in the closing seconds of Round 1, Emily got the better of what was a 15-minute kickboxing match. While the total strikes numbers were close (119-105 in Ducote's favor), there's zero doubt which woman landed the more impactful blows. A long-time member of both the Bellator and Invicta rosters, Ducote improves to 2-2 in her first four UFC bouts.

Can't find range in defeat
Ducote lost to Lupita Godinez via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Originally scheduled to face Polyana Viana, Ducote agreed to battle Godinez on just a couple weeks' notice and paid for it. Entering as a slight +125 underdog, Emily battled her way back into the fight following a slow start, but it was Godinez that landed the more meaningful strikes for the duration of the bout. A long-time member of both the Bellator and Invicta rosters, Ducote, now 29 years of age, has dropped back-to-back unanimous decisions (Godinez, Angela Hill) on the heels of a win over Jessica Penne in her UFC debut last July. She appears to be nothing more than roster depth moving forward.
