Vanessa Porto (21-8) looked sharp early but eventually saw an injury call an early end to her title-winning effort over Pearl Gonzalez (9-4). The bout for the vacant Invicta flyweight title served as the headlining contest of Friday’s Invicta FC 34 event, which streamed live on UFC Fight Pass from Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. The two women looked crisp on the feet to start, probing with punches and kicks as they sought angles to attack. After some back-and-forth work, Gonzalez worked her way into the clinch, forcing her opponent against the cage, but Porto was able to reverse the position and then take the action to the canvas. Gonzalez immediately countered with a kimura attempt, but Porto muscled her way out of the hold. Porto eventually elected to back away in favor of striking, though the two would finish the frame scrambling for opportunities on the canvas.
