Invicta FC 61 weigh-in results – Ferreira vs. Palacios
SHAWNEE, Okla. — On Thursday, April 3, Invicta Fighting Championships hosted the weigh-ins for Invicta FC 61: Ferreira vs. Palacios. The event takes place from the Grand Casino Hotel & Resort in Shawnee, Okla., on Friday, April 4.
The title of best atomweight in world is up for grabs as Brazil’s Elisandra “Lili” Ferreira (8-2) defends her belt opposite Mexico’s Ana “Guerrera” Palacios (10-3-1). The 26-year-old Ferreira has yet to taste defeat under the Invicta banner, reeling off four straight victories, including her title win in her last outing. Also making her mark in the division, Palacios has established herself as the No. 1 contender with back-to-back victories.
In the co-main event, featherweights Jamie “Snickers” Edenden (5-2-1) and Jackie “The Hybrid” Cataline (5-3) are slated to collide yet again. The pair were originally slated to face off at Invicta FC 60, but a medical suspension pushed the pivotal 145-pound bout to April.
