Invicta FC 25 Preview

By Darryn Smith 

Our #8bitMMA Fighter of The Week is Raquel Pa'aluhi. She was born in Wai'anae,Hawaii. Pa'aluhi's record currently stands at (6-5). Pa'aluhi trains out of Drysdale Jiu-Jitsu. This fight camp was little different for this featured title bout headlining the card out in California. Pa'aluhi trained in Poland with other notable fighters in preparation for it. Raquel's last 5 fights have come by 4-1 against tough fighters such as Kaitlin Young(current Invicta FC Matchmaker),Ediana Gomes,Colleen Schneider,and her last win came last January against Pannie Kainzad. This title fight was originally suppose to be on #InvictaFC24 card but with all the mainevent changes within weeks leading up to it. Invicta FC President Shannon Knapp,decided to push this bout back to their 25th event headlining it. Raquel's support has been stellar leading up to this big opportunity to push her into great heights to be a reigning and defending champion. This is no easy fight by any means. Pa'aluhi will fight Yana Kunitskaya for the vacant Invicta FC Bantamweight belt which was held by newly added UFC Fighter Tonya Evinger. Kunitskaya (9-3) already fought for this belt twice against Tonya Evinger. Their first meeting was a No Contest but they ran it back this past March to settle the score. Evinger ended up winning the bout to retain her belt. This should be a exciting fight for fight fans watching all over the world only on #UFCFightPass. Here is how the 25th fight card stacks up: Raquel Pa'aluhi vs Yana Kunitskaya Livia Renata Souza vs Janaisa Morandin Alexa Conners vs Katherine Lehner Sharon Jacobson vs Kali Robbins Shino VanHoose vs Alyse Anderson Amberlynn Orr vs Sarah Kleczka Yaya Ricon vs Courtney King Cheri Muraski vs Tracy Cortez Ashley Medina Jillian DeCoursey Thanks to all that support for us on #Twitter and #Facebook.
