Invicta FC: Phoenix Rising 2 - Preview, weigh-in video, and drawings

Hope you had room for more fights.

While the big two put up events this weekend that are historic in their own way, Invicta returns to the Phoenix Rising tournament format - a one-night elimination to settle the hierarchy in the flyweight division.

As a one-night tournament with limitations on ring time per night, the format will be a quarterfinal and semifinal fights will be one five-round fight each, with the final being a full three round fight, five minutes apiece.

Furthermore, none of the tournament fights were previously set up. A drawing took place at the weigh-ins to determine who would be fighting who in the opening round.
