Herica Tiburcio aims for Invicta title, doesn’t rule out moving to 115 for UFC

Herica Tiburcio has two goals for her MMA career - win the Invicta FC atomweight title back, and become a UFC fighter.

Fresh off a decision victory over Simona Soukupova at Invicta FC 20, the former champion, who recently moved to Boston to train at Juniko Hanower and Sityodtong Boston, admits she feels relieved after being back to the winning column.

"I took a ton of weight off my shoulders,” Tiburcio told MMA Fighting. “I want to win every time I step in there, but unfortunately I was coming off two losses. The (Ayaka) Hamasaki title fight I really lost, but I’m sure I didn't lose to Jinh Yu.
