There have been some changes to the Invicta Fighting Championships 47 card.
According to a release from the all-female promotion, former bantamweight title challenger Lisa Verzosa has been forced to withdraw from a proposed clash with Serena DeJesus. As a result, Brittney Cloud will replace Verzosa and lock horns with DeJesus in a new 135-pound pairing.
Meanwhile, a strawweight bout pitting Fatima Kline against Sidney Trillo has been added to the bill, expanding the Invicta FC 47 lineup to seven bouts in total.
Invicta FC 47 takes place at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan., on May 11 and is headlined by a strawweight title tilt between reigning champion Emily Ducote and former atomweight queen Alesha Zappitella. The card airs at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on the Invicta FC YouTube channel.
