Emily Ducote will make her way back into the ring on Friday, July 13th, 2018 at Winstar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma. Her return to the Bellator MMA cage will be against Veta Arteaga, a scrappy flyweight who is currently 2-2 inside of the Bellator cage, fighting out of Boise, Idaho.
Emily is currently coming off of highly contested pair of loses to the current flyweight champion, Ilima-lei Macfarlane and a close split decision loss to Kristina Williams. Both loses were barn burners and had the audience standing on their feet. Emily always brings the fight to her opponents and leaves it all in the cage.
