Invicta FC 21: Anderson vs. Tweet Fight Card Completed

Invicta Fighting Championship has released the final card for their Jan 14 show in Kansas City, MO, and I’m liking the added fights. We get to see the return of Andrea Lee, as well as Rachel Ostovich; I hope she fights in her Wonder Woman attire. Check out the press release below.

Invicta Fighting Championships today announced three new bouts for Invicta FC 21: Anderson vs. Tweet, completing the eight-fight card which takes place from the historic Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo. on Saturday, Jan. 14.

Prior to today, five match-ups had been announced by the leader in women’s mixed martial arts for its first event of 2017.

Joining the card at flyweight, exciting striker Andrea Lee (4-2) welcomes Idaho’s Jenny Liou (6-4) back to the Invicta cage. Liou, who previously competed at strawweight for the promotion, returns at flyweight and has picked up three submission wins since her last Invicta FC bout in April of 2015.

Also at flyweight, 25-year-old Hawaiian Rachael Ostovich (3-2) takes on Muay Thai practitioner Christine Ferea (3-1 as an amateur), fighting out of Las Vegas and making her professional debut. Ferea amassed an undefeated record under Muay Thai rules, going 13-0 as an amateur and 1-0 as a professional.

Both fighting to maintain momentum, veterans Amy Montenegro (7-2) and Celine Haga (10-13) do battle at strawweight. Montenegro enters the bout having won four of her last five, while Haga has also won four of five – all first round submission victories – and nine of her last 11 dating back to 2012.

The main event of Invicta FC 21 pits 26-year-old featherweight contender Megan Anderson (7-2) up against Canadian veteran Charmaine “Not So Sweet” Tweet (9-5).
