Esquibel Injured; Souza Now Meets Morandin in Non-Title Bout at Invica FC 25

The Invicta FC 25 co-main event is now a non-title bout after an injury to Jodie Esquibel, the promotion announced Wednesday.

Due to Esquibel’s withdrawal, Livia Renata Souza will now lock horns with replacement foe Janaisa Morandin in the evening’s co-feature on Aug. 31. Additionally, Sarah Kleczka will step in for Kelly McGill and meet AmberLynn Orr in a bantamweight tilt.

Invicta FC 25 takes place at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif., and is headlined by a 135-pound championship bout between Raquel Pa’aluhi and Yana Kunitskaya.
