Porto
Honchak
Two new Invicta title holders will be crowned at InvictaFC 4.
InvictaFC President Shannon Knapp announced this week on The MMA Show podcast that #4 ranked Carla Esparza and #3 ranked Ayaka Hamsaki will duke it out for the strawweight strap; while Vanessa Porto and #3 ranked Barb Honchak will go at it for the flyweight title. Both will solidify a world champion in each division.

Hamasaki
Esparza
Espraza (8-2) is on a three fight win streak, including two straight wins at Invicta. Both wins come via TKO. Hamasaki (8-0) is undefeated with four submission to her credit; including a last second armbar win over Lacesy Schukman at InvictaFC 2.
Honchak (7-2) is on a six fight win streak and is climbing the flyweights ranks quickly. Her defeat of #4 ranked Ais “The Bash” Daly solidified her as one of the best 125ers on the planet.
.
Porto (15-5) earned her shot at the belt by taking a win over Tara LaRosa at InvictaFC 3. Having spent most of her career at bantamweight, Porto has found a home at 125 pounds. She has won five out of the last six.
A date for InvictaFC 4 has yet to be announced. It will again be held at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, KS.
Which fight will be the main event?
Shannon never said, but the 125 title fight would be the most logical
in most cases higher weight class gets the nod , but a name like “declaration” or “invincible” the way ufc did it for 100 and 112 would be my preferred choice. UFC 111 had GSP/Hardy above Carwin/Mir, but that was for the interim HW title soo yea
