LAS VEGAS – If you can’t beat them, join them. That was Emily Ducote’s philosophy after losing to Angela Hill in December.
Ducote (12-7 MMA, 1-1 UFC) had a four-fight winning streak snapped and suffered her first UFC loss at UFC on ESPN 42 when she dropped a unanimous decision to longtime veteran Hill.
Instead of sulking on the result, Ducote traveled from Oklahoma to San Diego and put in work with Hill at Alliance MMA, and she hopes that pays dividends when she steps back in the octagon Saturday to face Loopy Godinez (9-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in a 120-pound catchweight bout at UFC Fight Night 224.
