A pair of featherweight fights join the card in Amanda ‘The Lady Killer’ Bell (3-3) vs. Ediane ‘India’ Gomes (10-4) and Megan Anderson (4-2) vs. Amber Leibrock (1-0).
The bantamweight bout between Raquel ‘Lionheart’ Pa’aluhi (5-4) and Colleen ‘Thoroughbred’ Schneider (9-6) rounds out the nine-fight event.
