The all-female promotion announced the matchup on Wednesday. Invicta FC 34 takes place at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. and streams in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The card will also feature a four-person flyweight tournament to determine the next No. 1 contender for the 125-pound belt. In one semifinal, Milana Dudieva will face Brogan Walker-Sanchez, while DeAnna Bennett will meet Miranda Maverick in the other half of the bracket. The winners will square off in the tournament finals at an event later this year. Additionally, Tracy Cortez and Karina Rodriguez will square off in a flyweight alternate bout at Invicta FC 34.

A featherweight clash pitting Faith McMah against Helena Kolenyk was also announced for the event.

The 34-year-old Porto enters the title bout on a two-fight winning streak. The Sao Paulo native defeated Milana Dudieva via TKO at Invicta FC 26 in December 2017 before submitting Mariana Morais in her most recent outing at Invicta FC 27. Porto owns a 20-8 career mark that includes wins over the likes of Roxanne Modafferi, Tara LaRosa, Germaine de Randamie, Jennifer Maia and Tonya Evinger, to name a few.

Gonzalez, a two-time UFC veteran, has kicked off her Invicta tenure with successive triumphs over Kali Robbins, Barbara Acioly and Daiane Firmino. The 10th Planet San Diego representative is 9-3 as a professional, with six victories coming inside the distance.
