The most recent meeting between these two came in July in the Fargo finals. In that contest, Ludington earned a tech in 1:17 using a barrage of offensive attacks to rack up two takedowns, two step outs, and two turns via leg lace. Ludington also defeated Ziola at Elite 8 Duals last fall. Ziola will look to turn the tide in their rematch at Who's Number One.
