A new atomweight champion will be crowned when Invicta Fighting Championships, the world’s premier combat sports organization for women, touches down at Memorial Hall in Kansas City on Friday, Sept. 20 with Invicta FC 57: Ferreira vs. Romero. In the night’s headliner, Brazilians Elisandra “Lili” Ferreira (7-2) and Andressa “Gauchinha” Romero (7-4-1) collide for 105-pound gold. Both athletes picked up victories at Invicta FC 55 in July to set up the title showdown. Ferreira reeled off her third straight win inside the Invicta cage over veteran Katie Saull, while Romero spoiled the U.S. debut of Japan’s Saori Oshima to establish herself as a top contender. The co-main event features the return of former flyweight title challenger Kristina “Warhorse” Williams (7-4) opposite Brazilian newcomer Nayara Maia (7-1-1). Williams has won four of her last five bouts, with the only defeat coming after five hard-fought rounds with Ketlen Souza for Invicta gold. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Maia joins the organization having finished five of her seven career victories. Also on the card, flyweight Liz “The Titan” Tracy (7-5) seeks revenge against UFC and Bellator veteran DeAnna “Vitamin D” Bennett (13-9-1) after the pair’s Phoenix Tournament 2 thriller, flyweight finisher Milana Dudieva (12-9) meets Sandra “The Peruvian Zombie” Lavado (12-5), Australia’s Jamie “Snickers” Edenden (4-2-1) clashes with fellow featherweight “Brave” Abby Montes (4-3) of Mexico, Canada’s “Sweet” Maria Djukic (3-1) faces off with Mexico’s Maria “Leona” Favela (3-2) in a bantamweight contest, returning veteran Meaghan Penning (2-1) squares off with Chilean strawweight Fernanda Orellana (1-0), and two-time IMMAF Pan American champion Ana “Aninha” Vitória (debut) makes her professional debut against strawweight newcomer Quinn Williams (1-1). Invicta FC 57: Ferreira vs. Romero will air via CBS Sports Network at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. Preliminary card action will stream live on Invicta’s official YouTube Channel and Facebook Page at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT.
