Invicta FC 60 Prelim Fights

Invicta Fighting Championships is returning to the state of Georgia on Friday, Feb. 7, for Invicta FC 60: Rubin vs. Cantuária. The event comes on the heels of the promotion’s Atlanta debut in December, which saw a new bantamweight champion crowned.

In the night’s headliner, two-time bantamweight title challenger “Big Bad” Olga Rubin (9-4) collides with Brazil’s Mayra Cantuária (10-6-1). The veterans are both eager to state their case for the first crack at newly-minted belt holder, Jennifer Maia. Rubin — the only fighter in Invicta history to secure a buggy choke submission — was most recently in action against then-champion Talita Bernardo, falling short in her second quest for gold. Cantuária was dominant in her Invicta debut against Calie Cutler, but came out on the wrong side of a closely contested judges’ decision against the aforementioned Maia in her most recent Invicta appearance.

UFC veteran Shanna “The Shanimal” Young (10-7) aims to build off the fastest knockout in Invicta history when she takes on fellow bantamweight veteran Katharina “The German Gypsy” Lehner (8-5), flyweight Victoria “Fury” Leonardo (10-6) meets Brazil’s Rayla “India” Nascimento (10-10), and Liana “Li” Pirosin (8-7) matches up with the returning Shino VanHoose (6-6) in a strawweight affair.

Brazil’s Giulliany “Giu” Perêa (2-0) takes on “The Hummingbird” Hope Holmes (2-1) in an atomweight match-up, California featherweight Joy “Killjoy” Pendell (3-2) welcomes Georgia native Krissa “Sweet Psycho” Timbs (2-2) to the promotion, and the debuting “Vicious” Amber Medina (0-0) meets fellow strawweight Anna “Honey Badger” Somers (2-2).

Invicta FC 60: Rubin vs. Cantuária takes place from Center Stage in Atlanta. The main card will air via CBS Sports Network at 7 p.m. ET. The night’s preliminary card will stream live on Invicta’s official YouTube Channel and Facebook Page at 5:30 p.m. ET. Tickets to the event are available through Ticketmaster.
