Invicta FC announces one-night, four-woman tournament for vacant strawweight title on Nov. 16

A one-night, four-woman tournament is headed to Invicta FC.

The promotion announced on Wednesday in a press release that they’re hosting a tournament to crown a new strawweight champion. The 115-pound tourney will take place at Invicta FC 50, which is set to go down on Nov. 16 in Denver.

The four fighters competing for 115-pound title are Valesca Machado (10-3), UFC veteran Gloria de Paula (6-5), 20-year-old Brazilian Ediana Silva (12-2) and newcomer Karolina Wojcik (9-2).

The event will also include two strawweight tournament reserve match-ups –Sharon Jacobson (6-5) vs. Melissa Oddessa (3-2) and Fatima Kline (2-0) vs. Ireland’s Danni McCormack (5-2).

Both the semifinals and final bout will consist of three, five-minute rounds. Tournament match-ups will be drawn during the event’s weigh-ins on Nov. 15.

Apart from the tournament and tournament reserve matchups, Invicta FC 50 will also feature two women’s bantamweight bouts.

Former Invicta FC title challenger Katharina Lehner (7-3) takes on ex-UFC fighter Talita Bernardo (8-4), and Denver’s own Claire Guthrie (3-1) looks to hand Brazili’s Marilia Morais (3-0) her first professional loss.
