Invicta FC Phoenix Rising Series 1 weigh-ins: Tournament shuffled due to weight issues
Invicta FC’s one-night, eight-woman tournament to crown a new strawweight champion had some last minute adjustments after two fighters were pulled from the tourney on weigh-in day Thursday.
Mizuki Inoue, who was scheduled to face Sharon Jacobson in the quarterfinals of the tourney at “Invicta FC Phoenix Rising 1” on Friday night in Kansas City, was pulled from the card due to weigh-cut complications before attempting to weigh-in. She was replaced in the fight by alternate Amber Brown.
Then, Janaisa Morandin was scratched from the card after missing weight for her scheduled bout with Brianna Van Buren. She’s been replaced by reserve Manjit Kolekar.
Quarterfinal and semifinal bouts will be one round each, with the finals a three-round affair.
