Jinh Yu Frey didn’t leave Invicta FC 39 as champion but she still managed to get a win in the main event.
After failing to make weight on Thursday, the 34-year-old veteran was forced to surrender her atomweight belt while Ashley Cummins still had the opportunity to become champion and avenge a prior loss to Frey from 2017. In what ended up as a back-and-forth striking battle, Frey managed to thwart Cummins’ chance to go home with the title after edging her out in a hard-fought unanimous decision over five rounds.
In the first meeting, Frey and Cummins spent the majority of the fight battling it out on the ground but the rematch showed that both athletes were ready to throw some heavy leather.
