Women’s Strawweight Championship Bout Headlines LFA 105 on April 23

Legacy Fighting Alliance will crown its third-ever female strawweight champion on April 23.

The promotion recently announced that Pierangela Rodriguez Giunta will face Svetlana Gotsyk for 115-pound gold in the main event of LFA 105 at the Grand Event Center in Shawnee, Okla. The card will air on UFC Fight Pass at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The LFA strawweight belt became vacant after Lupita Godinez signed with the UFC.

Giunta has kicked off her professional career with five triumphs on the regional circuit in Panama and Spain. She has finished all but one of those victories by knockout or technical knockout.

A native of Ukraine, Gotsyk is a former strawweight title holder with the World Warriors Fighting Championship promotion. Her 13-4 career mark includes a notable TKO defeat to UFC champ Weili Zhang in 2016 and 12 wins inside the distance.

The rest of the LFA 105 main card is as follows: Jake Childers vs. Canaan Kawaihae at featherweight; Bruce Souto vs. Cristian Torres at light heavyweight; Mark Martin vs. Renato Valente at welterweight; Tabatha Ricci vs. Shawna Ormsby at strawweight and Zac Pauga vs. Logan Nail at light heavyweight.
