Milana Dudieva Replaces Jessica-Rose Clark, Meets Vanessa Porto at Invicta FC 26

Vanessa Porto will face Milana Dudieva at Invicta FC 26 after original foe Jessica-Rose Clark got the call up to the UFC as a short-notice replacement.

The promotion confirmed the change on Wednesday. Additionally, three new bouts were announced for the Dec. 8 card: Amy Montenegro vs. Virna Jandiroba at flyweight; Amber Brown vs. Tessa Simpson at atomweight and Christine Ferea vs. Karina Rodriguez at flyweight.

Invicta FC 26 takes place at the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo., and is headlined by a 125-pound championship clash between Jennifer Maia and Aga Niedzwiedz. The card will stream in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. CT.

A three-time UFC veteran, Dudieva came up short on her Invicta debut on July 15, dropping a split decision against Mara Romero Borella. Porto has lost two straight, falling to both Invicta FC main event competitors via unanimous decision.
