The Invicta FC women's bantamweight and strawweight divisions will take shape again next month.

Raquel Pa'aluhi will take on Pannie Kianzad and Jodie Esquibel meets DeAnna Bennett in a pair of important bouts with future title implications at Invicta 21 on Jan. 14 in Kansas City, the promotion announced Thursday.

Also added to the card was another bantamweight bout between top prospect Aspen Ladd and Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Sijara Eubanks. Heather Hardy, the pro boxer making her MMA debut, will meet fellow debutante Brieta Carpenter, who has an 8-2 amateur record in mixed martial arts.
