This is a razor thin fight that should not have a clear favorite. Both of them are going to pressure forward and both will have moments of success. I think Victoria may be the better actual fighter, but Sam's pressure and determination has won her more than fight against better opponents. I'm going to pick Victoria here because I think she will wrestle early and Sam can be taken down. But these odds are atrocious. Don't touch the moneyline and instead hammer the over 2.5
Victoria Dudakova
Viktoria Dudakova is a very exciting fighter. She will come across the cage and let her hands fly, then either keep a striking distance or work her grappling. Her striking is clean and powerful and her BJJ is very slick. You will find tape of her shooting blast doubles as well as defending takedowns and firing away. Her last fight was cancelled on fight night but her last actual fight in a cage was a decision win over Jinh Yu Frey where she had a knockdown and plenty of success striking but her BJJ off her back certainly needs work.
Sam Hughes
Sam Hughes is a pressure striker and weight bully. She is very aggressive but also very hittable with a negative striking differential. She has wrestling with 7 takedowns and plenty of pressure. She is insanely tough but not particularly dangerous. She will exploit her opponents cardio holes but take a beating along the way. She is coming off the decision loss to Yazmin Jauregui where she went 0 for 6 in takedown attempts and couldnt keep up with the striking.
