Two-Time UFC Vet Pearl Gonzalez Among 15 New Additions to Invicta FC Roster

Sarah Kaufman isn’t the only former UFC talent making her way to the Invicta Fighting Championships roster.

The all-female promotion officially announced 15 new signings on Thursday. Those included the previously reported deal with Kaufman as well as two-time UFC competitor Pearl Gonzalez. Gonzalez joins Invicta on the heels of back-to-back losses to Cynthia Calvillo and Poliana Botelho. The 31-year-old began her pro MMA career with six victories in seven outings, including a win over current UFC strawweight Cortney Casey-Sanchez.

In addition to Kaufman, Invicta added five other bantamweights: Marciea Allen, Julia Avila Shumate, Kerri Kenneson, Allison Schmidt and Chelsea Chandler.

Meanwhile, four fighters will enter the flyweight ranks: Bianca Daimoni, Monica Medina and Helen Peralta. Finally, Ashley Nichols will join Gonzalez at 115 pounds, while Loma Lookboonmee, Fernanda Priscila Barros Pinheiro and Rebekah Levine will compete at atomweight.
