It’s another busy weekend in combat sports, and Invicta FC is here to bring you something special tonight (May 3rd).
From the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, the inaugural “Phoenix Rising” series will commence. Eight women will vie for the vacant strawweight title in a one-night tournament. Unfortunately, MIZUKI and Janaisa Morandin were unable to make weight for this event, so they’ve been replaced by Amber Brown and Manjir Kolekar respectively. Beyond that, the tournament starts off with one-round quarterfinals, and the semifinals will be randomized if there are no finishes. Otherwise the person with the fastest finish gets to choose her opponent.
