Upon her Twitter page Dudieva announced that she would take some time off due to her becoming pregnant.[12] Dudieva returned after a year away and lost to Marion Reneau after which she was let go from the UFC.[13]

In 2017, Dudieva signed with Invicta FC and made her debut in a headline bout against Mara Romero Borella on July 15, 2017, at Invicta FC 24: Dudieva vs. Borella.[14] She lost the fight via split decision.[15]
