It wasn’t easy, but Danni McCormack is bringing the strawweight title home to Ireland.
In the main event of Invicta FC 52, which took place at ReelWorks Denver in Denver Wednesday evening, Valesca Machado aimed to defend her strawweight throne for the first time. McCormack (7-2), however, had other plans.
When it was all said and done, McCormack gave herself the best birthday present by overcoming early adversity to win a unanimous decision with scores of 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47 to take the strawweight title.
