Invicta FC 24: Sunna Rannveig Davíðsdóttir Photo Journal

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” admin_preview_bg=”] On Saturday, July 15, Invicta Fighting Championships will host Invicta FC 24: Dudieva vs. Borella. The event takes place from Scottish Rite Temple on Saturday, July 15, and streams live and exclusively on UFC Fight Pass beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

The event features the third Invicta appearance for undefeated Icelandic strawweight Sunna Rannveig Davíðsdóttir. The undefeated fighter invited the promotion’s media team to observe and document her weight-cutting process for her upcoming bout against Kelly D’Angelo.

Below is a photo gallery shot by Scott Hirano of Invicta Fighting Championships that showcases everything from Davíðsdóttir’s epsom salt bath to her stepping on the scales to make weight.

“Sunna Davidsdottir describes her fight week weight cut day as the most relaxing time of the week. Immersed in the sounds of Sigur Ros, surrounded by caring and attentive teammates, Sunna’s weight-shedding process is one that she describes as soothing and meditative. In a few hours time her goal is to relax, sweat and achieve the required weight to fight the next day. Her teammates, monitoring the progress closely and speaking only when necessary, leave Sunna to the sounds of her thoughtful music and her quiet appreciation of the experience.” – Scott Hirano, Invicta Photographer

Niedwiedz

Invicta FC Welcomes Three New Fighters

Kansas City, Mo. — Invicta Fighting Championships today announced the signing of three fighters to its roster.

Joining the flyweight division is undefeated Polish fighter Agnieszka Niedzwiedz (7-0). The 21-year-old began training judo at the age of seven. She transitioned to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA in her teens and now holds the rank of purple belt in BJJ. Six of her seven career wins have come before the final bell, including four via strikes.

Brazil’s Talia Santos (13-0) is the latest addition to the bantamweight division. The Astra Fight Team product has an extensive background in Muay Thai and boxing. Ten of her 11 stoppage wins have come inside the first round. The 22-year-old holds the rank of blue belt in both BJJ and Luta Livre.

The strawweight division has also gained a fresh face, as Iceland’s Sunna Rannveig Davidsdottir (0-0) will make her professional debut in the Invicta cage. The 30-year-old has professional kickboxing experience and captured the IBJJF European championship in 2015 as a blue belt. “Tsunami” was also crowned the IMMAF European champion last year.

Bouts for the new roster additions have not been finalized at this time. Check InvictaFC.com for future updates on all three fighters.
