Undefeated Russian Victoria Dudakova speaking at the UFC, said in a interview that she could not imagine herself in provocative photo shoots in swimsuits or underwear.
Dudakova won six of her six MMA bouts and signed with the UFC after winning the Dana White Contender Series. The Russian is set to make her debut at the July 15 tournament in Las Vegas against Istela Nunez. Before MMA, she practiced swimming and was part of the Russian youth team.
– There were several girls in the UFC who, having gained popularity in fights, began to earn money on platforms by posting candid photos. Someone just likes to be photographed for social media. Imagine yourself on photoshoots like Paige Vanzant?
– Filming like Paige Vanzant is definitely unacceptable to me. I am not against photo shoots in a dress, but here I choose certain dresses. I have my own style, which I have followed for several years, because I know it suits me. I don’t want to look like some kind of bedside table or a pumped-up boy in a woman’s dress.
You can’t say that, of course, but when I walk in an open T-shirt, it’s clear that I have muscles that can no longer be hidden. As a result, if I’m wearing dresses, then it’s midi length and at least my arms are closed up to the elbow to feel like a girl.
I do not accept photo shoots in swimsuits or without. When it’s in shorts, I can’t go anywhere, I perform in a tank top and sports shorts, there’s nothing we can do about it. But I will never participate in photo shoots that are sexual or too frank. This is my purely personal opinion.
– Not because mum, dad or coach won’t understand, are you against it?
Yes, this is unacceptable to me. Maybe before, when I was swimming, it was normal for me to go out in a bathing suit. It was stable, in the summer they swam in open sports. A lot of time has passed, now I myself am embarrassed to go out in public like this. Even in the hall, when I went to Hasanali, I myself am ashamed to expose something. I even wear shorts over leggings. It doesn’t happen otherwise, otherwise I feel too naked, Dudakova told
