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.
