Elizabeth Phillips vs. Leah Letson Added to Invicta FC 21, Hardy-Carpenter Canceled

Kansas City, Mo. — The fight card for Invicta Fighting Championships 21 has undergone a last-minute change.

Debuting flyweight Brieta Carpenter (0-0) suffered a concussion during training for her match-up with boxing world champion Heather Hardy (0-0) and has been forced off the fight card. Due to the timing of the change, a replacement opponent could not be found before the event. Hardy will be rescheduled for a future event.

Despite losing the flyweight bout, the fight card has added another bout. UFC veteran Elizabeth Phillips (5-4) will make her promotional debut against fellow newcomer Leah “Nidas” Letson (3-1) in a featherweight match-up.

Invicta FC 21 will take place Saturday, Jan. 14 from the historic Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo. The event will air live and exclusively on UFC Fight Pass. The event will be headlined by an interim featherweight title fight between Megan Anderson (7-2) and Charmaine Tweet (9-5).
