The 20 women competing on Saturday’s Invicta FC 14 fight card in Kansas City officially weighed in on Friday. Four fighters initially missed weight, including the two ladies in the main event.
Bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger was scheduled to defend her title for the first time against Pannie Kianzad. Evinger missed weight on her first attempt but later made the weight. After missing the mark on her first attempt, Kianzad opted not to try and shed any more weight. As a result, the main event is now a five-round non-title fight. Evinger was fined 20-percent of her fight purse for failing to make weight on her first attempt while Kianzad had to forfeit 25-percent of hers.
Also missing their mark and opting to not cut any more pounds was DeAnna Bennett and Rosa Acevedo. Both fighters were forced to relinquish 25-percent of their fight purse.
