Weigh-ins for Invicta Fighting Championships 3 were held today at Aladdin Holiday Inn in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. An atomweight title bout between fast-rising star Jessica Penne and Jewels champion Naho “Sugi Rock” Sugiyama is set to headline Saturday’s 14-fight all-female card.
In what could serve as a bantamweight title eliminator, Shayna “The Queen of Spades” Baszler faces fellow submission specialist Sarah “The Monster” D’Alelio. Kaitlin Young battles Leslie “The Peacemaker” Smith for a second time. MMARising.com has live coverage of the Invicta FC 3 weigh-ins.

Note: Any fighter who misses weight on her first try will be deducted 10% of her fight purse. If a fighter is still unable to make weight on her second try, the penalty increases to 25%.
*LaRosa could not cut any more weight and accepted a 25% purse deduction.
**Schuckman originally weighed in at 106.2 pounds. She successfully made 106.0 on her second attempt and will only be fined 10% of her fight purse.
Tara LaRosa, who bashed Gina in the past for missing weight, got fined because she couldn’t make weight… interesting.
