Invicta Fighting Championships’s Boston debut later this month has been stacked with several new high-profile matchups.
Invicta FC 54 will now feature a strawweight co-main event between mixed martial arts veteran Kalindra Faria (19-9) and fellow Brazilian and former champion Valesca Machado (12-4). “Tina Black” will replace Faria’s originally scheduled opponent Isis Verbeek, who was forced out of the card recently. A three-time Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran, Faria has faced former Invicta champs Jennifer Maia and Vanessa Porto, as well as contenders Claudia Gadelha, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Joanne Calderwood, over a career spanning more than a decade. Additionally, a bantamweight clash between Canada’s Maria Djukic (2-1) and Massachusetts-based Brazilian Fernanda Araujo (2-3) has been added to the card.
Invicta FC 54 takes place Oct. 27 at Citizens House of Blues in Boston. In the main event, Invicta strawweight champion Danni McCormack (7-2) will make her first title defense against Polish challenger Karolina Wójcik (11-3). The main card also features Bellator MMA veteran Kristina Williams in a flyweight clash with SBG Ireland export Dee Begley.
