A non-title bantamweight affair featuring former flyweight champ Jennifer Maia, also a title challenger at 125lbs in the UFC, headlines Friday’s Invicta FC 56.
The all-female fighting promotion finds itself in Denver, Colorado for it’s second card of 2024, with Mayra Cantuária featuring in the main event opposite Maia. A title shot is likely on the line, especially should Maia, who parted ways with the UFC following a loss to Viviane Araujo last year, emerge victorious.
Former Invicta FC women’s strawweight champion Valesca “Tina Black” Machado, meanwhile, was anchoring the co-main event at Invicta FC 56. She was set to take on Yulia Ostroverkhova.
Weigh-ins for the card took place Thursday in Denver, with the entire roster of fighters, 16 in all across eight fights, making weight successfully. Full results can be found below. The event takes place Friday, August 9, 2024 at the Stockyards Event Center in Denver, CO, streaming live on CBS Sports Network in the U.S., and Fight Network in Canada.
