Invicta FC 38 Weigh-in Results and Video Replay

Tomorrow, Nov. 1, Invicta Fighting Championships will host its 38th event from Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan.

In the night’s main event, Japan’s Kanako Murata (10-1) battles veteran Emily Ducote (8-5) for the vacant strawweight championship. Murata submitted Liana Pirosin in her promotional debut at Invicta FC 35. Oklahoma’s Ducote impressed in her first Invicta appearance, stopping former title challenger Janaisa Morandin in the first round.

The co-main event pits flyweight champion Vanessa Porto (21-8) against contender tournament winner Karina Rodríguez (8-3) in a three-round, non-title affair, after Rodríguez failed to make weight for the scheduled title bout. The Brazilian Porto captured gold at Invicta FC 34, defeating UFC veteran Pearl Gonzalez. Mexico’s Rodriguez most recently earned a hard-fought decision victory over UFC alum DeAnna Bennett at Invicta FC 36.

The event will stream live and exclusively on UFC Fight Pass beginning at 7 p.m. CT.
