Karina Rodriguez to defend title at Invicta FC 46

Invicta FC returns on March 9 with a card that sees the promotion’s flyweight title on the line. The promotion announced by press release that newcomer Ketlen Souza gets the call to face current champion Karina Rodriguez.

Rodriguez, known for her action-packed brawling style, clinched the belt last May with a unanimous decision win over Daiana Torquato. Prior to that she lost to previous champion Vanessa Porto in a non-title bout. That was supposed to be for the title, but Rodriguez came in a pound over weight for the contest.

The Mexican earned the match-up with Porto by winning a one-night flyweight tournament where she defeated former UFC fighters DeAnna Bennett and Miliana Dudieva.
