Invicta FC 42 weigh-in results: COVID scratches two fights, but title bout is on

BAD MMA News — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 04:05:31 +0000

Thursday’s Invicta FC 42 card dropped from six bouts to five on Wednesday, after two competitors tested positive for COVID-19. Two fights — Auttumn Norton (1-1) vs. Brittney Cloudy (2-2) and Jennifer Chieng (1-0) and Flore Hani (2-1) — were called off due to coronavirus positives. While the fighters who tested positive were not publicly identified, Chieng was not one of them — she successfully weighed in for her planned strawweight bout and will now face standby fighter Helen Peralta in a 120-pound catchweight, which means the event will proceed with five fights instead of six. On the plus side, both competitors in the main event are in the clear and made weight for the their fight, which will fill the vacant Invicta FC atomweight belt. Both Ashley Cummins and Alesha Zappitella checked in under the 105-pound championship weight limit

MMA and coronavirus: Police officers Trevin Giles, Ashley Cummins offer unique perspectives

When Trevin Giles and Ashley Cummins aren’t fighting inside the MMA cage, they’re fighting to maintain law and order outside of it.

Invicta FC 39 results: Jinh Yu Frey edges Ashley Cummins, so belt stays vacant

BAD MMA News — Sat, 08 Feb 2020 05:26:58 +0000

A mishap with her weight meant Jinh Yu Frey no longer had a title to defend Friday night, and that made her win a little anticlimactic. When Frey (9-4) was announced the unanimous decision winner over Ashley Cummins (7-5) with a trio of 48-47 scores in the five-round main event, many in the crowd booed their disapproval. And it did seem like Cummins may have been just a little quicker than Frey most of the night. But it was Frey who took the win in the atomweight title fight – even though she no longer had a 105-pound title to defend. Only Cummins could win the belt after Frey missed weight by 0.8 pounds at Thursday’s weigh-in, and she fell short in a rematch from a 2017 fight that Frey also won.

Jinh Yu Frey will still fight Friday, but she won’t defend the Invicta FC atomweight championship. Why? It’s not her’s anymore. Frey (8-4) missed weight by 0.8 pounds at Thursday’s Invicta FC 39 official weigh-ins. As a result, Frey vacated the 105-pound strap ahead of her fight with challenger Ashley Cummins (7-4). Cummins can still win the title with a victory, but the belt would remain vacant if Frey wins

Invicta FC 39 won’t be the first time Jinh Yu Frey and Ashley Cummins face off. Two of the world’s top atomweights, Frey (8-4) and Cummins (7-4) fought two and a half years ago at Invicta FC 24 in July 2017. Unlike Friday night’s rematch, their initial meeting wasn’t for championship gold. After three rounds of fighting, Frey was named the victor by unanimous decision.
