Rubin in particular has been no stranger to title shots. In 2019, after starting her career 6-0, “Big Bad” was granted a shot against then-Bellator MMA women’s featherweight champion Julia Budd. The fight didn’t go her way, and arguably came a little too early in her run, but Rubin became more of a household name thanks to the bout.

After losing a follow-up against Sinead Kavanagh, she exited Bellator, picked up a win for Oktagon MMA in 2021, and joined the Invicta ranks with an immediate bantamweight title shot opposite the promotion’s 135lb champ at the time, Taneisha Tennant. Dropping a split decision, Rubin again went into rebuild mode and won her next two fights (one with a rarely seen buggy choke), which took her to a title fight against Talita Bernardo- which found Rubin submitted.

All was not lost for Olga Rubin however. Bernardo dropped her belt to Jennifer Maia in December, and Rubin has been as reliable as they come for Invicta. As for Mayra Cantuária, the Brazilian is 1-1 in Invicta FC and coming off a non-title decision loss to Maia that she’d no doubt like the chance to avenge.

With UFC veterans Shanna Young and Victoria Leonardo also in action on Friday, Invicta FC 60 should be one to watch!

Promotion officials recently announced the seven-fight card via press release. Invicta FC 60 will be headlined by bantamweight action, with former Bellator MMA title challenger Olga Rubin (9-4) taking on Mayra Cantuária in a non-title main event.

The card takes place at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA on Friday, February 7, 2025.

Rubin, also a former Invicta FC title challenger, is the only fighter in the all-female promotion’s history to secure a win by buggy choke. Most recently, she came up short in her second title bid for the company, winding up submitted by Talita Bernardo.

The Russian-born Israeli fighter fell to Julia Budd in a shot at Bellator’s featherweight championship back in 2019. Her last four fights have come under the Invicta FC banner, where she has posted a 2-2 record. Both of those losses came in title fights.

Mayra Cantuária came up short against former UFC title challenger and current Invicta bantamweight champ Jennifer Maia in her last outing. There’s a good chance a win over Rubin could earn her another shot at the Brazilian champion.

As it stands, Feb. 7, 2025’s Invicta FC 60 looks like this:

Bantamweight: Olga Rubin vs. Mayra Cantuária
Featherweight: Jackie Cataline vs. Jamie Edenden
Bantamweight: Shanna Young vs. Katharina Lehner
Flyweight: Victoria Leonardo vs. Rayla Nascimento
Strawweight: Liana Pirosin vs. Shino VanHoose
Atomweight: Giulliany Perêa vs. Hope Holmes
Featherweight: Joy Pendell vs. Krissa Timbs
