Invicta FC announces first event since COVID-19 outbreak, Juliana Lima vs. Emily Ducote to headline

Invicta FC is back.

The most prominent all-female fight organization in the world will return Thursday, July 2 with Invicta 40 in Kansas City, Kan. at a venue-to-be-named-later. The promotion announced the news in a press release issued Tuesday.

In the main event, ex-UFC fighter Juliana Lima returns against ex-Bellator fighter Emily Ducote in a strawweight matchup. Also on the card, atomweights Lindsey VanZandt and Alesha Zappitella face off in a co-main event showdown.

Lima (10-6 MMA) has lost three of her most recent four outings. Her lone loss in that stretch came against Danielle Taylor by split decision in May 2019.

Ducote (8-6 MMA) has gone 2-1 since her Bellator departure in late 2018. After winning back-to-back fights over Kathryn Paprocki and Janaisa Morandin, Ducote lost a split decision to Kanako Murata at Invicta FC 38 in November.

VanZandt (7-3 MMA) has gone 1-2 over her most recent three fights. After defeating Shino VanHoose at Invicta FC 37 in October, Vandzandt was defeated by Rena Kubota via third-round corner-stoppage.

Zappitella (6-2 MMA) snapped a two-fight losing skid at Invicta FC 39 in February when she defeated Kelly D’Angelo by unanimous decision.

The event is expected to stream on UFC Fight Pass.
