Number 1 Lightweight in the world, Canada’s Bobbi-Jo Dalziel has revealed plans to move down to 145lbs to fight for Invicta FC, Dalziel told us “I have been in contact with Invicta, they said get to 145 and we have a spot for you, so that’s my next step, trying to get to 145″.

Dalziel (3-0-0) has had a huge year, just three fights into her career she has already managed to become the Number 1 ranked Lightweight (155lbs) fighter in the world. She made her pro debut back in 2014 defeating former Invicta FC star Tamikka Brents with a TKO by knees. She made her return in March of this year and defeated the current Number 5 Lightweight Andria Wawro in just 30 seconds of Round 1, knocking her out with a kick.

However, it’s Dalziel’s fight from just over a month ago that grabbed the MMA world’s attention. Jozette “The Number #1 Headbusta” had been the undefeated lightweight queen for a longtime with the perfect undefeated record of 6-0-0, all extremely dominant wins, she seemed unbeatable. Dalziel went into the fight and absolutely dominated Cotton, showing perfect footwork, clinch work and fight IQ. Dalziel won via unanimous decision.

After making quick work of the Lightweight division, Dalziel is set to join Invicta FC and wants to move down to 145lbs in which there is a higher quantity of opponents, including Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris ‘Cyborg’.

Bobbi-Jo Dalziel is certainly a woman to watch out for as we approach 2017. We’ll be publishing an interview with her this coming Sunday in which she talks about a range of topics including more about her transition down to 145lbs, how she started training in MMA, her biggest inspirations, how she will defeat Cris ‘Cyborg’, the upcoming Rousey VS Nunes bout, Jozette Cotton and lots more.
