Elisandra Ferreira win vacant atomweight title

Elisandra Ferreira is the new Invicta atomweight champion.

Invicta FC 57 took place Friday at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan., featuring a championship bout for the vacant atomweight title. Elisandra Ferreira took Andressa Romero in a hard-fought battle over 25 minutes. After the dust settled, Ferreira was crowned the new Invicta atomweight champion by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46).

The fight was intense.

Ferreira set the tone early in the opening round by clipping Romero with punches. However, as the fight went on, things evened out. Romero quickly rebounded to win Round 2, tying up the fight on all three judges’ scorecards.

The fight became an all-out scrap between two fighters hungry to claim the vacant title. Both had moments on the feet and in the grappling department, but often, the pair just slugged it out as they stood toe-to-toe.

The judges scored the fight unanimously in Ferreira’s favor, crowning the 26-year-old Brazilian the new champion.

Injury ends Invicta FC 57 co-feature early

The co-main event ended abruptly in an unfortunate fashion.

Nayara Maia took on Kristina Williams in a flyweight bout, but the fight was over before the fighters got into their rhythm. Unfortunately for Maia (7-2-1), who was sporting knee braces on both legs, she could not continue after her right knee gave out while charging forward with punches. As a result, Williams (8-4) earned a TKO victory in just 31 seconds.
