Invicta FC president Shannon Knapp announced the match-up during the Invicta FC 6 post-fight press conference. Prior to making the drop down to the flyweight division, Smith lost an extremely close split decision to Sarah Kaufman , a fight Smith felt she won. “My sense of redemption will come when I beat Sarah Kaufman,” she said.  But the title shot opportunity at flyweight will keep her in the 125-pound division.  “That’s very good incentive to say in this weight class.” Smith (6-3-1) is anticipating a tough match-up with the titleholder, but doesn’t expect to see anything she hasn’t already faced. “Barb’s name is ‘Little Warrior,’ so I expect she’s going to bring it.  I think that she’s solid in all areas, but Jennifer Maia was solid in all areas,” said Smith during the Invicta FC 6 post-fight press conference
