Strawweight gold will be on the line at the next Invicta FC event as champion Emily Ducote will meet challenger Alesha Zappitella in the main event.
The promotion announced on Tuesday that Invicta FC 47 is scheduled for May 11, with Ducote (10-6) vs. Zappitella (9-3) serving as the headlining act. A location and venue have not been revealed.
