Kline, 24, is a main training partner of UFC standout Erin Blanchfield. Tabbed as many to be a future champion, Kline’s promotional debut this past July ended in defeat when she took a fight on short notice up a weight class against Jasmine Jasudavicius.

Back at her natural weight class and with a full camp, Kline put on a dominant and aggressive display when she dragged Dudakova to the ground and eventually finished the fight with elbows.

The defeat was Dudakova’s second in a row after an undefeated start to her career.
