When Invicta FC 57 arrives on September 20, 2024, a new atomweight champion will be crowned.
Promotion officials announced the first five fights for next month’s card on Tuesday, including the main event of Elisandra Ferreira vs. Andressa Romero, with the vacant 105lb title on the line.
In addition, a number of notable names are set to appear, including Bellator vet Kristina “War Horse” Williams, TUF alum/Bellator contender DeAnna Bennett, and former UFC fighter Milana Dudieva.
Ferreira (7-2) last competed at Invicta FC 55 in June, where she won a unanimous decision over Katie Saull. The Brazilian has won all three of her fights under the Invicta FC banner to date. Romero (7-4-1) was last in action the very same night, defeating Saori Oshima. The bout was Romero’s Invicta FC debut.
The Invicta atomweight title was last held by Rayanne Amanda dos Santos, who vacated it when she signed with the UFC late last year. Historically, the belt has been held by Jessica Penne, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, and Jinh Yu Frey, among others – all three of whom went on to have careers as strawweights with the UFC.
The card as announced for Sept. 20, 2024 at the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, KS currently breaks down as follows:
- Atomweight: Elisandra “Lili” Ferreira vs. Andressa Romero – for the vacant Invicta FC atomweight championship
- Flyweight: Kristina Williams vs. Nayara Maia
- Flyweight: Liz Tracy vs. DeAnna Bennett
- Flyweight: Milana Dudieva vs. Sandra Lavado
- Bantamweight: Maria Djukic vs. Maria Favela
