Russian Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) prospect Victoria Dudakova suffered her second straight loss at UFC Vegas 101 this past weekend (Sat., Jan. 11, 2025) when he got battered on the ground and eventually stopped by Fatima Kline from inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas (watch highlights).
Dudakova’s loss was amplified when she was caught on camera slapping her coach after her disappointing loss.

Now that the dust has settled, the Russian took to her Instagram to apologize for her actions.
“Emotions are a little off…
First and foremost, I would like to apologize to my husband and my coach,” Dudakova wrote. “I was sorry that in such a difficult moment, he turned his back on me and didn’t want to enter the cage. This is not an excuse and I am not looking for excuses for myself. I did wrong, I couldn’t cope with my emotions. I set a bad example for athletes and the younger generation.
I also want to apologize to sports fans.
Thanks to everyone who stays with me in this difficult situation”
After starting her career undefeated and with a lot of hype, Dudakova (8-2) has dropped two straight and missed weight in one of her two UFC wins.
At just 25 years old, she has plenty of time to turn her career around—if she gets a new UFC contract after going 2-2.
