There was some trouble on the scales involving the
Invicta Fighting Championships 41 main event.
Only one-half of the scheduled headliner made weight without issue,
as Montserrat
Ruiz checked in at 114 pounds for her strawweight clash against
Janaisa
Morandin. Morandin, meanwhile, tipped the scales at 116.9
pounds during Wednesday’s weigh-ins. As a result, “Evil Princess”
was fined 25 percent of her purse. Transgressions on the scale are
nothing new for the 25-year-old Brazilian, who weighed 119.6 pounds
for her last scheduled strawweight appearance against Emily
Ducote in August 2019.
Invicta FC 41 takes place on Thursday in Kansas City, Kansas and
streams on UFC Fight Pass beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Other
than Morandin, everyone else on the six-bout card hit their
contracted marks.
A former strawweight title challenger, Morandin has lost three of
her last four bouts. Most recently, the 25-year-old Brazilian
suffered a first-round TKO defeat to Ducote at Invicta FC 36 on
Aug. 9. “Evil Princess” is 10-3 as a professional, with six
victories coming inside the distance.
Mexico’s Ruiz made her promotional debut at Invicta FC 33, where
she suffered a unanimous decision loss to UFC veteran Danielle
Taylor. The Bonebreakers Team representative began her pro
tenure with eight consecutive triumphs on the regional circuit.
