Vanessa Demopoulos

ANALYSIS
Demopoulos has an opportunity to expand her winning streak to three, looking to make the third much more decisive than the first two. Amorim is also fighting off back-to-back wins.

ANALYSIS
No fighter in the UFC is as adept at getting gifted questionable decision victories as Demopoulos. Three of her past four wins have come in a similar fashion to what we saw here. Vanessa was by no means dominated and may very well have landed the more impactful blows, but she lost the significant strikes battle by a 143-109 count and failed on all three of her takedown attempts. She's very fortunate two of the three judges felt she won. Demopoulos' ceiling is nowhere near as high as her 4-1 record in her past five bouts would lead you to believe.

ANALYSIS
Demopoulos has won three of her last four bouts, most recently emerging victorious over Kanako Murata in October. Demopoulos have momentum and experience on her side versus Ducote but will have to overcome a 3.5-inch reach disadvantage.

ANALYSIS
As the old saying goes, "it's better to be lucky than good." The bottom line here is that Demopoulos lost this fight and was gifted a decision by the judges. The first round was close and competitive, after that, it's impossible to see how either of the final two frames could be scored for Vanessa. To her credit, she remained aggressive throughout, but it's difficult to win a 15-minute decision when you spend 9:27 of the final 10 minutes being controlled on the mat. Demopoulos should be riding a two-fight losing streak, instead, the 35-year-old improves to 4-1 in her past five bouts.

ANALYSIS
Demopoulos, who was most recently defeated by Karolina Kowalkiewicz in May, will look to bounce back against Kanako Murata. The 34-year-old American fighter, who maintains a 3-2 record in the UFC, will certainly have the experience advantage in the bout.
