Okay, here’s my story about Carli Judice in the UFC, told in a personal, blog-style format:
So, I’ve been following this fighter, Carli Judice, for a while now. I first heard about her when she was on Dana White’s Contender Series. Man, that girl can scrap! She was raw, sure, but you could see the potential. And guess what? She did it! She got that UFC contract. I was stoked for her, I really was.
I remember thinking, “This is it. This is her shot.” You know how it is with these up-and-comers. They get signed, and you’re just waiting to see if they can hang with the big dogs. Flyweight division, it’s a shark tank. But Carli, she seemed different. She had that fire, that “it” factor, or whatever you want to call it.
Her debut was at UFC Vegas 93. I made sure to tune in for that one. I cleared my schedule, got some snacks, the whole nine yards. It was against Juliana Miller, and let me tell you, it was a fight. They went at it. Back and forth, trading blows. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. She lost. I felt sad.
- Round 1: Carli’s looking good. Aggressive, landing some solid shots.
- Round 2: Miller’s tough. She’s taking it to Carli. This is a war!
- Round 3: It could go either way. Both fighters are leaving it all in the octagon.
Here’s what I jotted down during the fight:
It was a nail-biter. This girl named Yuneisy Duben was tough as nails, and Carli had to dig deep. She showed heart, man. Real heart. But in the end, she didn’t get the win. It happens. She was up against a seasoned vet.
Then I saw some news about her fight with Yuneisy Duben at UFC Fight Night 254. I didn’t get to see that one live, but I caught the highlights. Another tough fight for Carli. I found some statics from that fight on Sherdog website. It’s a website about UFC.
So, yeah, that’s my little story about following Carli Judice’s journey in the UFC so far. She’s still young, still learning. She’s got the talent, no doubt. It’s just a matter of putting it all together. I’m still a believer. I think she’s got what it takes to make some noise in the division. I’ll definitely be watching her next fight. You should too. You never know, you might just witness the rise of a future champ.
I also searched some news about her on ESPN. But I didn’t find much breaking news. Most of them are fight records.
I will keep following her. Hope she can get her first win in UFC soon.
