Eight-bout Invicta FC 21 lineup finalized with addition of 3 fights, including Andrea Lee-Jenny Liou


With the addition of three more fights, the lineup for next month’s Invicta FC 21 card now is complete.

The promotion today announced flyweight fights between Andrea Lee (4-2) and Jenny Liou (6-4), as well as Christine Ferea (0-0) vs. Rachael Ostovich (3-2), plus a strawweight bout between Amy Montenegro (7-2) and Celine Haga (10-13). That completes the card with eight total bouts.

Invicta FC 21 takes place Jan. 14 at Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo. The event will stream live on UFC Fight Pass.

Lee will be looking to get back in the win column after a March submission loss to Sarah D’Alelio at Invicta FC 16. That setback snapped a two-fight winning streak of third-round armbar submissions over Ostovich at Invicta FC 14 and Ariel Beck at Legacy FC 49. Liou is coming off her own loss to D’Alelio at a regional event in July, which snapped a three-fight winning streak. She’s 0-2 under the Invicta FC banner with losses to Jamie Moyle and Lacey Schuckman.

Ostovich in May took a split decision from Beck at Invicta FC 17 to get back in the win column after an armbar submission loss to Lee. She has wins in three of her past four fights. Ferea is a muay Thai standout who trains at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas. She went 3-1 as an amateur in MMA, but was perfect in her muay Thai career. She’ll be making her pro MMA debut.

Montenegro has wins in four of her past five fights. At Invicta FC 11, her promotional debut, she beat Brianna Van Buren by unanimous decision. After a split-decision loss to Moyle at Invicta FC 13 in July 2015, she took a split call from Glena Avila in regional competition a year ago to get back on track. But she’ll be fighting for the first time in more than a year when she meets Haga, who has four straight wins. The Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA-trained Norwegian has submitted all four of her opponents in her current run and has seven of her 10 career wins by tapout. Amazingly, Haga’s career started 1-11, with most of her fights for Japan’s Jewels promotion. But in the past four or so years, she has gone 9-2.

With the additions, the Invicta FC 21 card now includes:

  • Megan Anderson vs. Charmaine Tweet
  • DeAnna Bennett vs. Jodie Esquibel
  • Pannie Kianzad vs. Raquel Pa’aluhi
  • Aspen Ladd vs. Sijara Eubanks
  • Andrea Lee vs. Jenny Liou
  • Brieta Carpenter vs. Heather Hardy
  • Celine Haga vs. Amy Montenegro
  • Christine Ferea vs. Rachael Ostovich
