This Friday at Invicta FC 20 Yana ‘Foxy’ Kunitskaya will challenge Tonya ‘Triple Threat’ Evinger for the Bantamweight Championship in the main event. Evinger (18-5-0) is currently on a 9 fight win streak with wins over the likes of Cindy Dandois, Irene Aldana, Pannie Kianzad and Sarah D’Alelio. Kunitskaya (8-2-0) will be looking to put a stop to that streak and claim the championship, the biggest win of her career thusfar is a Round 1 0:34 win over Cindy Dandois via TKO back in 2010.

Kunitskaya spoke to us earlier today after the weigh-ins, we asked her about her thoughts on the fight with Evinger she said “I am very glad that I have the opportunity to fight with such a strong competitor in Tonya. I sincerely think she is a very good athlete”. When asked what would be next for her with a win tomorrow night, ‘Foxy’ said “With a victory tomorrow, I would like to try myself in the UFC”. Evinger is currently the Number 9 ranked Bantamweight in the world according to the ‘Women’s Pro MMA World Rankings’. A win for Kunitskaya would certainly get people talking and put her on UFC’s radar. When asked about the possibility of moving up to fight the Invicta FC 145lb champion Cris ‘Cyborg, Kunitskaya said “I’m too easy to compete with Cyborg. I find it easier to go down to 125 than up to 145”.

Invicta FC 20 takes place Friday 18th November from 8:00pm ET and will air live on UFC Fight Pass. Tonya Evinger defends her Bantamweight Championship against Yana Kunitskaya in the main event. In the co-main event Angela Hill will defend her Strawweight Championship against Kaline Medeiros.
