On May 3rd, Brianna Van Buren clinched the vacant Invicta FC flyweight title by running through her competition (Manjit Kolekar, Juliana Lima, and Kailin Curran) at Invicta FC: Phoenix Rising 1. After winning that one-night tournament Van Buren signed with the UFC, meaning the title was again vacated.
To give that belt a new home Invicta is running another flyweight tourney at September 6th’s Invicta FC: Phoenix Rising 2. In a recent press release the promotion confirmed the final line-up of tournament participants.
The flyweights expected to compete for the title are:
- DeAnna Bennett (10-5-1)
- Milana Dudieva (12-8)
- Maiju Suotama (8-4)
- Daiana Torquato (9-3)
- Liz Tracy (5-3)
- Victoria Leonardo (6-1)
- Miranda Maverick (5-2)
Bennet’s name is likely the most familiar for the majority of MMA fans.
