Losing streak hits four
StrawweightUFC
October 21, 2023
Frey lost to Viktoriia Dudakova via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 294 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
The UFC granted Frey another opportunity with the company despite the fact she entered having lost three straight. She struggled once again here against Dudakova, although it should be noted the former missed weight by 0.6 pounds Friday morning. Frey lost virtually all the striking exchanges between the two in both the first and third rounds. She didn't have any such issue in Round 2 because she landed and early takedown and kept Dudakova pinned to the mat nearly the entire frame. Ultimately, it wasn't enough. Not only has Frey lost four straight, but she turned 38 years of age this past May. It would be shocking if her time with the UFC hasn't come to a close.

Facing heavy opponent
StrawweightUFC
October 20, 2023
Frey's scheduled strawweight matchup against Viktoriia Dudakova will proceed as planned despite Dudakova missing weight by 0.6 pounds, according to the official UFC site.
ANALYSIS
Frey already had the odds stacked against her, as she was entering this matchup on a three-fight losing streak with her roster spot likely on the line. She'll pick up 20 percent of her opponent's fight purse, but she remains approximately a (+400) betting underdog as of early Friday morning.
Set to fight Dudakova
StrawweightUFC
August 14, 2023
Frey will take on Viktoriia Dudakova in a strawweight fight at a UFC event on Oct. 21, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Frey has her next chance to turn her losing ways around, taking on the much more inexperienced Dudakova in October. Dudakova stands two-inches taller than Frey and also sports a two-inch reach advantage, which may cause Frey some trouble landing strikes. Frey has lost three straight fights, with her most recent loss coming at the hands of Elise Reed in June.
Struggles continue in Vegas
StrawweightUFC
June 3, 2023
Frey lost to Elise Reed via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's Frey's third straight loss, and in many ways, a more disappointing result than her 47-second knockout loss to Polyana Viana last November. Frey started quickly in this fight, landing two takedowns in the opening frame en route to winning the round. She struggled the rest of the way, consistently getting off second in all the striking exchanges between the two. Frey has really struggled offensively over the course of her near three years with the company, and tonight was no different. Now 2-5 under the UFC banner, the odds are against the 38-year-old Texan receiving another shot with the company.
Fighting Elise Reed

March 23, 2023
Frey agreed to face Elise Reed at UFC's June 3 event, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Frey has lost her past two bouts and is coming off a defeat to Polyana Viana, in which she lasted just 47 seconds before being knocked out. Reed lost to Loma Lookboonmee in February and has alternated wins and losses since making her UFC debut in 2021.
Lasts 47 seconds in Vegas
StrawweightUFC
November 5, 2022
Frey lost to Polyana Viana via KO (punches) at 0:47 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This appeared to be a winnable fight for Frey on the heels of her controversial split decision loss to Vanessa Demopoulos this past June. It didn't turn out that way. She recklessly pushed forward not long after the opening bell rang and got clipped with a hard combination from Viana, who is most certainly not known for her power. Frey managed to remain standing for the first couple shots before dropping to the mat and getting finished off by her opponent. It was a good stoppage from referee Herb Dean. A former Atomweight (105 pounds) Champion with Invicta, Frey, now 37 years of age, has really struggled (2-4) with the move up to strawweight during her time with the UFC. There simply isn't much here.
