Fight Preview
Victoria Dudakova is 7-0 overall with one win in Dana White’s Contender Series, and one win in the UFC. The latter happened in July against Istela Nunes who injured her arm after only 34 seconds of the fight, the result of which is that Dudakova was awarded a TKO win.
A win is a win, but she’s determined to really show what she’s got. Well, she’ll get the chance to do that this coming Saturday against the former Invicta Atomweight champion, Jinh Yu Frey who’s 11-9 overall.
The Korean-American fighter is a great striker with amazing wrestling skills. Her takedown defense is 89% and she makes over a takedown per fight. The main reason why Jinh Yu Frey’s record isn’t better is that she’s smaller than most fighters in the UFC. Dudakova, for example, is four inches taller than her.

Before joining the UFC, the 5’2 fighter competed in the Atomweight Division of Invicta FC and other promotions. Since joining the UFC, she’s been fighting in the Women’s Strawweight Division, in which she’s 2-5.
Victoria Dudakova vs. Jinh Yu Frey Prediction
Victoria Dudakova’s strongest weapons are grappling and wrestling, as evident from the fact that four of her seven wins happened by submission. However, we doubt she’ll be able to take Jinh Yu Frey down. Instead, the only way to beat her is to try and outbox her.
The good news for the Russian fighter is that she’s got superior reach so she should be able to land plenty of strikes. She probably won’t be able to knock her opponent out, but we do think she’ll land just enough kicks and punches to win over the judges’ affection.
