Invicta FC is putting on a one-night, eight-woman tournament on May 3rd in Kansas. Invicta FC Phoenix Rising 1 is set to determine the new Invicta strawweight champion after former champion Virna Jandiroba vacated her belt to join the UFC roster. With two former title challengers, three former UFC stars and one undefeated prospect involved, it promises to be entertaining.
The format of the Invicta FC Phoenix Rising tournament is fairly simple. All first round fights will last just one, five minute round. The fighter that has the fastest finish in the quarter-final will be able to pick their semi-final opponent from the other victors.
