The co-feature fight will see Jennifer Maia taking on Vanessa Porto, in A Brazil vs Brazil match-up of two very experienced fighters. Both women are carrying three-fight win streaks in to the match, and the righter who comes away with a fourth win in a row, could be UFC-bound. This bout is a re-match of an October 2011 meeting that was held in Brazil, which saw Porto win by stoppage in the second round.
One fighter who may be UFC bound in the short term is DeAnna Bennett who faces veteran Roxanne Modaferri. Bennett went 8-0 to start her career before experiencing a loss in her last outing, in January of this year at Invicta 15. Modaferri is 18-12 overall, but she is still one of the most fun fighters to watch in all the women’s ranks. The lanky New Englander has been a professional fighter for more than a dozen years and she spent years in Japan honing her craft. Bennett needs to get back on the winning track and avoid a second loss in a row.
Former atomweight champion Herica Tiburcio is on the card as she attempts to get back in the title picture. She won the belt with a strong win over Michelle Waterson, only to see her vanquished opponent get the UFC call anyway. Unfortunately for Tiburcio, she ran into Ayaka Hamasaki last July at the Invicta 13 event to drop the belt and snap a nice four fight winning streak.
Also on the card in an underdog position is UFC veteran Jessamyne Duke. Duke made a name for herself runnig with Ronda Rousey in the early days of women’s UFC as part of the “Four Horsewomen” click that also included Shanya Bazsler. Well, a three fight losing streak left Duke outside the UFC. ALdana is 5-2 overall.
