Invicta FC flyweight Mariya Agapova (8-1) has had to withdraw from her Invicta FC 39 fight with Daiana Torquato (9-3) after suffering injuries in an auto-pedestrian accident in South Florida (per an Invicta FC press release). Replacing Agapova is Invicta veteran Shanna Young (7-2).
The news release from Invicta included graphic images of an open wound on Agapova’s left elbow. The extent of the injury was not disclosed.
Agapova’s only loss came against Tracy Cortez on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series during the show’s 2019 season. After that setback the Kazakh fighter, who trains at American Top Team, joined Invicta FC.
