Two new fighters have joined Invicta FC’s upcoming Phoenix Series flyweight field.
Victoria Leonardo (6-1) and Shanna Young (6-2) are stepping in as replacements for Cheri Muraski and Marilia Santos, who have been forced to withdraw from the one-night tournament on Sept. 6. The reason for Muraski’s and Santos’s withdrawals were not specified in the official release, but Muraski mentioned on social media that she is dealing with an injury.
The one-night tournament will be comprised of an eight-woman bracket, with the quarter-finals and semifinals being contested in one-round, five-minute fights, and the finals being a traditional three-round bout.
