Invicta FC Announces Jandiroba-Morandin Strawweight Title Fight For Sept. 1

Undefeated Invicta FCstrawweight champion Virna Jandiroba is set to defend her belt against Janaisa Morandin on Sept. 1 at the historic Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Missouri, the promotion announced on Thursday.

Jandiroba (13-0) will look to retain her belt and her perfect record against Morandin (10-1) in the main event of Invicta FC 31. The Brazilian champion has submitted seven opponents thus far out of 13 professional victories.

Jandiroba won the strawweight title in March in a dominant five-round performance against Mizuki Inoue that ended in a perplexing split decision. She will be making her first title defense against Morandin, a fellow Brazilian who has tallied half of her ten career victories by knockout or technical knockout.

UFC veteran Pearl Gonzalez (8-3) returns to Invicta in the night’s co-main event, as she looks to make it two-in-a-row at flyweight and three straight overall against promotional newcomer Daiane Firmino (10-2). Gonzalez has stayed busy since joining the organization, picking up two wins already this year.
