Yulia Ostroverkhova vs Emily Ducote Prediction: Gordinha is Still Too Dangerous To Mess With

The Invicta FC women's mixed martial arts league tournament is happening in the United States on the night of November 7th. In the main event of the evening, Russian Yulia Ostroverkhova will be up against former UFC fighter Emily Ducote. The match will be held in the women's flyweight division.

Yulia Ostroverkhova

Yulia Ostroverkhova is a fighter with the STORM Shlemenko Fight Team. She's competed in the SFC and MFP leagues in Russia, was the Open FC champion, and this year won the National Pankration Championship. She made her Invicta FC debut in August but was unsuccessful, losing by unanimous decision to Valesca Machado.

Emily Ducote

Emily Ducote fought in the UFC for five years but was fired because she only won two bouts. Before joining the world's strongest league, Ducote was a dominant Invicta FC champion and decided to give up the title to take a great opportunity. Since she didn't take that opportunity, she's now returning. Emily also fought in Bellator, where she had eight bouts, so she had more experience in big fights than Yulia.

Expert Betting Tips

It's difficult to predict how Yulia will fare against the American champion. Ostroverkhova's chances of victory are, to be frank, slim. But Ducote doesn't have a thing for a knockout, so we think the fight will go the distance.
