Emily Ducote and Veta Arteaga will square off in a women’s flyweight bout at Bellator 202 in Thackerville, Okla., on July 13.
Promotion officials recently confirmed the pairing to the Idaho Press-Tribune. Bellator 202 takes place at the WinStar World Casino and Resort and is headlined by a women’s featherweight title tilt between Julia Budd and Talita Nogueira. The evening’s main card will be televised on Paramount Network at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.
Ducote enters the matchup on a two-fight skid. She challenged for the promotion’s inaugural 125-pound belt at Bellator 186, losing to Ilima-Lei Macfarlane via fifth-round submission this past November.
