The UFC is filling out its May slate of fights, and has added a fun strawweight matchup to the mix. At a UFC Fight Night event on May 18, Vanessa Demopoulos will take on Emily Ducote. The event does not yet have a confirmed location or venue, but MMA Junkie has confirmed with two sources that contracts have been signed by both fighters.

Ducote (13-8 MMA, 2-2 UFC) also enters the contest on the heels of victory.
