Emily Ducote had a successful UFC debut in July and already has her second promotional outing on the books.
At UFC Fight Night scheduled for Dec. 3, Ducote (12-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will battle veteran strawweight Angela Hill (14-12 MMA, 8-12 UFC), who is coming off an Aug. 13 win over Loopy Godinez. The event is targeted for Orlando, Fla.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Ducote, 28, is a former Invicta FC strawweight champion and Bellator alum. She signed with the UFC in June and debuted July 16 against Jessica Penne at UFC on ABC 3. Ducote won by unanimous decision.
Less than one month later, Hill, 37, snapped a three-fight losing streak by winning a unanimous decision against Godinez. She is 2-5 over her most recent seven fights, but three of the losses were split decisions. The Dec. 3 fight will mark the 10th time Hill has competed in 32 months.
With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for Dec. 3 includes:
- Derek Brunson vs. Jack Hermansson
- Tracy Cortez vs. Amanda Ribas
- Matheus Nicolau vs. Matt Schnell
- Eryk Anders vs. Kyle Daukaus
- Francis Marshall vs. Marcelo Rojo
- Natan Levy vs. Genaro Valdez
- Marc Diakiese vs. Michael Johnson
- Clay Guida vs. Scott Holtzman
- Emily Ducote vs. Angela Hill
