UFC veteran Emily Ducote returned to action for the first time since exiting the promotion at Invicta FC 58 on Friday.
Ducote had risen to fame as a flyweight in Bellator MMA, facing Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (for their second fight) in 2017 with the inaugural Bellator women’s 125lb title on the line. While the title fight didn’t go her way, Ducote’s profile had grown enough to earn her a run in Invicta FC that saw her drop to strawweight. There, she captured the 115lb title for the all-female fighting promotion in 2021.
After defending her belt, Ducote landed in the UFC, defeating a former title challenger in Jessica Penne in her debut. Losing three of her next four fights, however, Ducote was shown the door, and returns to Invicta looking to bounce back against Yulia Ostroverkhova.
