Invicta FC 44 Weigh-in Results: Championship Doubleheader Set; 1 Fighter Heavy


It's all systems go for Invicta Fighting Championships' first event on Axs TV.

Invicta FC 44 will serve as the promotion's introduction to the Axs TV audience with a pair of championship offerings. This card will be headlined by a vacant bout for the flyweight title between Karina Rodriguez and Daiana Torquato. Meanwhile, atomweight titleholder Alesha Zappitella will look to keep her crown against Jessica Correa Delboni.

The 8-4 Rodriguez is a surprise pick for a title shot, as she's coming off a unanimous decision loss to Vanessa Porto. However, the Mexican fighter had won two straight fights prior to the setback. Meanwhile, Torquato (10-3) is on an eight-fight win streak, but will be making her promotional debut. Both women weighed in below the 125-pound limit, with Rodriguez at 124.7 pounds and Torquato at 124.9 pounds.

Zappitella (8-2, 1 NC) picked up the atomweight title in her last fight after submitting Ashley Cummins with a Von Flue choke in the fourth round. Coming into that title fight, "Half Pint" had notched wins over Lindsey VanZandt and Kelly D'Angelo. On the other side of the equation, Delboni (10-2) has won three of her last four bouts. Along the way, she captured a split decision over VanZandt, and pocketed a unanimous verdict over Herica Tiburcio in her last outing. The Brazilian came in at 104.8 pounds, while the champion weighed 104.9 pounds.

All women on the card made weight except for Josee Storts, who came 2.7 pounds over the flyweight limit. She has been fined 25 percent of her purse, and the fight will proceed ahead.

Invicta FC will stream live on YouTube and on Axs TV in its entirety starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
