Phoenix Rising is getting another iteration, and it’s time for the smaller side of the roster to shine.
After atomweight champion Alesha Zappitella defended her belt less than two weeks ago, she’s already getting a new challenger lined up. And the solution to finding someone to fit the bill is a simple one, and that’s another one-night tournament with a title shot for the winner.
Given the Kansas commission regulations regarding limiting the ring/cage time for a fighter on a single card, the first and second bouts will be a single five-minute round, and the final will be a full three-round, five-minute rounds.
