Invicta FC 29’s Kianzad says after ‘struggles’ vs. Evinger and Kaufman, she’s come back stronger

After dominating the regional scene and lifting a bantamweight title in Cage Warriors, Pannie Kianzad (8-3) moved to Invicta in 2015. Since then she has faced a relative murderer’s row of competition. This Friday, she’s hoping to turn that tough experience into a victory over promotional newcomer Bianca Daimoni (7-2).

Kianzad’s first bout in Invicta was against current UFC talent Jessica-Rose Clark. She won that match via unanimous decision. After that the Iranian-born Swede lost in a title fight to UFC title challenger Tonya Evinger. After that she lost to Invicta bantamweight title challengers Raquel Pa’aluhi and Sarah Kaufman.
