Miller match re-scheduled
Judice is scheduled to compete against Juliana Miller in a flyweight fight at UFC Houston on Feb. 21, per Damon Martin of MMA Fighting.
ANALYSIS
Judice's 2025 was initially slated to begin with a fight against Miller at UFC Vegas 102 in February. The bout was canceled with an injury on Miller's part, and Judice proceeded by finishing both Yuneisy Duben and Nicolle Caliari via strikes later this year.

Takes UFC 318 opener
Judice defeated Nicolle Caliari via TKO (strikes) at 1:30 of Round 3 at UFC 318 on Saturday in New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
It's easy to forget this was just Judice's seventh professional fight. She dropped each of her first two UFC bouts via split decision, but has looked better in her last two. Judice has shown much-improved stand-up skills of late. She battered Caliari on the feet, closing with a 109-32 edge in significant strikes landed, en route to a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Carli also stuffed 7-of-8 takedown attempts. The company has taken it slowly with Judice, matching her up against lower-level competition, which is absolutely the correct way to attack the situation. At 26 years old, Judice is a legitimate prospect in a 125-pound female division that needs all the young talent it can find.

Booked vs. Caliari
Judice will take on Nicolle Caliari in a flyweight bout at UFC 318 on July 19, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Judice is coming off her first career UFC win, taking care of Yuneisy Duben in a first-round victory back in March. That evened her record to 1-1 in the promotion, and her next opponent will be looking to do what Judice just did -- win her first UFC bout. Caliari lost her debut with the promotion but hadn't lost a bout since 2019 until that point. This should be an entertaining bout between relative newcomers.

Finally earns first UFC win
Judice defeated Yuneisy Duben via TKO (strikes) at 1:40 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Almost certainly fighting for her job after suffering back-to-back defeats to Gabriella Fernandes and Ernesta Kareckaite in her first two UFC bouts, Judice rebounded in a big way here as a -300 favorite. She was able to crack Duben with a head kick which led to the immediate stoppage and would go on to earn her a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Still just 26 years of age, it's reasonable to expect Judice to make improvements on a fight-by-fight basis, although there would appear to be an excellent chance this will represent her high-water mark with the company. Either way, her roster spot should be secure with the victory.

Gets a new opponent
Judice will take on Yuneisy Duben in a flyweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for March 15, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Judice lost on Contender Series but was still given a shot with the UFC, but she came up short last June against Gabriella Fernandes via split decision. She was then scheduled for a matchup against Juliana Miller, but Miller had to withdraw due to undisclosed reasons. In steps the debuting Duben, who picked up a knockout finish via Contender Series to get her change. Judice will hold three-inch height and reach advantages.
