Vanessa Demopoulos

Emily Ducote

Match Preview

The UFC Fight Night 241 tournament opener, set to start on May 18th in Las Vegas, has been entrusted to the pair Vanessa Demopoulos – Emily Ducote, and we will definitely provide the best prediction for the women's strawweight bout. In the world's premier league, both competitors have 2 losses. However, Vanessa boasts 4 victories in the UFC, while Emily has secured just 2 wins. We will delve into how this head-to-head encounter between the ladies will conclude below.

It is worth noting the confident start of 35-year-old American Vanessa Demopoulos in the UFC. In the world's premier league, she has compiled a record of 4-2, with 4 wins in her last 5 fights. In this streak, "Lil Monster" only lost to Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Vanessa excels at striking for points standing up. And before moving to the UFC, Demopoulos incredibly utilized her grappling base, securing 4 submission victories with a professional record of 10-5.

Emily Ducote, 5 years younger than her upcoming opponent, also boasts balanced skills. She holds a professional record of 13-8, with 7 of those victories coming by finish: 3 by KO and 4 by submission. In the UFC, Emily has a record of 2-2, but even so, she is considered a serious favorite in the matchup against Vanessa.

We're somewhat surprised that Vanessa is considered the undisputed underdog of the fight. Yes, Emily is more aggressive in the octagon, but Demopoulos defends well in the stand-up, and on the canvas, she's not averse to going for a submission herself. Therefore, we do not expect a super quick victory for Ducote, and are placing a bet on the total rounds over.
