Since leaving the UFC in 2017, Pearl Gonzalez has won two straight fights (both in Invicta FC) boosting her pro record to 8-3. Last time out, fighting at 125 lbs for the first time in her career, Gonzalez bested Barbara Acioly; finishing the Brazilian with a first-round armbar. This Saturday at Invicta FC 31 Gonzalez takes on Daiane Firmino (10-2) in the co-main event.
