Lucie Pudilova
Bullet
Czech Republic
Suffers third straight defeat
Pudilova lost to Luana Carolina via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering the loser of back-to-back fights and without a victory for nearly two years, Pudilova almost certainly needed a win to extend her time with the company. Known for her stand-up skills, Lucie landed just 62 total strikes compared to 114 from Carolina. She was consistently out-muscled in tight and was never able to get in any sort of rhythm. Pudilova drops to 3-8 in 11 fights with the UFC over the course of two different stints with the company.

Victim of horrific judges decision
Pudilova lost to Joselyne Edwards via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Absolutely awful. It took exactly one fight for our first horrific decision of the evening. Pudilova appeared to easily win this fight, landing a takedown in each of the first two rounds in addition to securing more than three minutes of control time in each frame. Edwards improved enough in Round 3 to steal the final stanza, but there's no way she deserved the win. The only good news for Pudilova is that she walks away with 20 percent of Edwards' purse after the latter missed weight by half a pound on Friday morning. The 28-year-old falls to 1-1 in the UFC.
