Invicta FC 51 Weigh-in Results: Both Title Bouts Official

A championship doubleheader is now official for Invicta FC 51.

Taneisha Tennant tipped the scales at 134.4 pounds for her bantamweight title defense against Talita Bernardo (135), while both Kristina Williams (124.3) and Ketlen Souza (123.6) hit their contracted marks without issue in their matchup for the vacant flyweight crown.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing at Tuesday’s weigh-ins. Serena DeJesus (137.3) missed weight by 1.3 pounds for her bantamweight clash against Olga Rubin (136) and has been fined 25 percent of her purse. Meanwhile, Tanya Niijar (118.1) was 2.1 pounds heavy for a strawweight showdown with Sayury Canon (113.1) and as a result, the bout has been removed from the card.

Invicta FC 51 takes place at Reelworks Denver in Denver, Colo., on Wednesday night and airs on the Invicta FC YouTube channel and AXS TV in the United States beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Tennant has been victorious in five of her six professional outings. Most recently, she defended her bantamweight crown with a split-decision triumph over Rubin on July 20.

After a 1-3 stint in the UFC, Bernardo has been victorious in three straight fights — including two under the Invicta FC banner. In her last outing, the Brazlian submitted Katharina Lehner in the second round at Invicta FC 50.

A former Bellator competitor, Williams has won three straight outings. She’s currently 2-0 in Invicta and is coming off a first-round submission victory against Liana Ferreira Pirosin at Invicta FC 48.

Souza is in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. The Brazilian was successful in her promotional debut, taking a three-round verdict over Maiju Suotama at Invicta FC 49.
