Jessica Delboni-Jillian DeCoursey Title Fight Headlines Invicta FC 49 on Sept. 28

Jessica Correa Delboni will defend her atomweight crown against Jillian DeCoursey in the main event of Invicta FC 49 on Sept. 28.

The all-female promotion announced the booking on Wednesday. Invicta FC 49 takes place at Sugar Creek Casino in Hinton, Okla., and will also see Kristina Williams square off against Ketlen Souza in the flyweight co-headliner. The card will air on AXS TV and the Invicta FC YouTube channel beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Four other bouts were also confirmed for the card: Liz Tracy vs. Valesca Machado at strawweight; Helen Peralta vs. Poliana Botelho at flyweight; Brittney Cloudy vs. Montserrat Rendon at bantamweight and Nadia Vera vs. Shauna Bannon at strawweight.

After losing a controversial split decision to Alesha Zappitella in a title bout at Invicta on AXS TV in May 2021, Delboni took a unanimous verdict over Zappitella to claim atomweight gold in their rematch at Invicta FC 45 this past January. The 28-year-old Parana Vale Tudo representative owns a 12-3 mark that includes 10 victories by decision and two via KO/TKO.

DeCoursey, meanwhile, has been victorious in three of her last four professional outings. Most recently, the 38-year-old known as “Lionheart” knocked out Lindsey VanZandt in 61 seconds at Invicta FC 47 on May 11.
