Russian UFC fighter Victoria Dudakova said that she suffered a minor nervous breakdown due to weight loss before her fight with American Jean Yu Frey.
On October 21, the Russian woman defeated Jean Yu Frey by decision at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
— Weight cutting completely killed my body – and it’s a vicious circle. The problems became more numerous due to the weight loss, and the weight loss was difficult due to health problems. After this, an abscess formed on the gluteal muscle, which was then cut out. At least until it opened, it was not contagious. They took tests from me and said that, most likely, it was not contagious before the fight.
Even after the cut, I had a slight nervous breakdown. I cried for an hour and a half and couldn’t even explain why I was crying,” Dudakova told the Championship.
24-year-old Dudakova won eight victories in her professional career and did not suffer a single defeat.
