UFC veteran Angela Hill, on the other hand, has been struggling recently. She has only registered one win in her past four fights. Her recent string of losses has culminated in a rather lackluster record of 14 wins and 12 losses.
Emily Ducote says that she is not into gambling or betting
In a recent interview with The AllStar, Emily Ducote stated that she's not really into gambling or betting and doesn't even check the odds for her own fights until after the event:
"I don't look at anything until after. Like afterward my coaches will be like, 'You were the underdog by like, this much,' or whatever. I'm not really into that gambling or betting or anything, but afterwards, my coach will always tell me."
'Gordinha' added that she's used to being the underdog as she's always fought big names. The former Bellator flyweight title challenger said it's always a nice bonus to clinch wins as an underdog:
"Yeah, I've been the underdog for a lot of my career, you know, because I'm always just fighting like... big names or whatever. So I'm totally used to that, doesn't throw me off at all... but to come out obviously, you know, if you are an underdog... to come out and win... it's always a bonus, it's nice."
