Invicta FC flyweight champion Vanessa Porto (21-6) looks to defend her belt for the first time when she takes on contender tournament winner Karina Rodriguez (8-3).
Promotion officials recently announced the contest will headline Invicta FC 38, which takes place Nov. 1 at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. The full card streams live on UFC Fight Pass.
Additionally, Kanako Murata (10-1) meets Emily Ducote (8-5) in the night’s co-feature with the promotion’s vacant strawweight belt on the line.

She now faces Rodriguez, who picked up decision wins over Milan Dudieva in February and DeAnna Bennett in June to claim a flyweight tournament win and earn a shot at the belt.
