Strawweight gold will be on the line at the next Invicta FC event as champion Emily Ducote will meet challenger Alesha Zappitella in the main event.
The promotion announced on Tuesday that Invicta FC 47 is scheduled for May 11, with Ducote (10-6) vs. Zappitella (9-3) serving as the headlining act. A location and venue have not been revealed.
Ducote, 28, will attempt to make her first title defense after claiming gold in spectacular fashion at Invicta FC 44 in August. The Bellator veteran is 4-1 over her past five, with her title-winning head kick of Danielle Taylor ranking among the best knockouts of the year in 2021.
