Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Pudilová fought most of her early MMA career in Europe.[3] Her win over Melinda Fábián, an The Ultimate Fighter 26 contestant, earned her the title of Bantamweight Champion for the Gladiator Championship Fighting promotion in Czech Republic.[6][7] Pudilová amassed a record of 6-1 prior to being signed by UFC, with the one loss to Lina Länsberg.[2] Pudilová is the third Czech to be signed by UFC.[8]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Pudilová made her promotion debut on March 18, 2017, replacing injured Veronica Macedo,[9] at UFC Fight Night: Manuwa vs. Anderson against Lina Länsberg in a rematch in London.[10] After three close rounds of fierce fighting, she lost the fight via unanimous decision.[11][12][13] At the post fight interview, Länsberg, with a badly battered right eye, argued that she might think Pudilová had done enough to be declared the winner.[14] However, a majority of the media score cards still agreed with the judges and saw Länsberg as the winner.[15]

Her second fight came on June 17, 2017 in Singapore at UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Correia.[16] She faced Ji Yeon Kim and won the fight via unanimous decision.[17][18]

Pudilová faced Sarah Moras on February 18, 2018 at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Medeiros.[19] She won the fight by unanimous decision.[20]

Pudilová faced Liz Carmouche on February 23, 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 3.[24] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.[25]

Pudilová faced Antonina Shevchenko on August 3, 2019 at UFC on ESPN 5.[26] She lost the fight via technical submission due to a rear-naked choke in the second round.[27] Despite the loss, the bout earned Pudilová her second Fight of the Night bonus award.[28]

Pudilová faced Justine Kish on January 25, 2020 at UFC Fight Night 166.[29] She lost he fight via unanimous decision.[30]
