Vanessa Porto’s flyweight belt won’t be on the line at Invicta FC 38 after Karina Rodriguez missed weight by 1.1 pounds on Thursday morning in Kansas City, Kan. Porto successfully made weight at 124.2 pounds.
With Rodriguez’s weight miss, a strawweight title fight between Kanako Murata and Emily Ducote will now serve as the main event, promotion officials told MMA Fighting. Both fighters hit the mark to meet for the vacant belt on Friday night.
Porto-Rodriguez was moved to the co-main event slot and will proceed as a three-round non-title bout.
