Five other contests were confirmed for the card: Raquel Pa’aluhi vs. Lisa Verzosa at bantamweight; Jessica Correa Delboni vs. Herica Tiburcio at strawweight; Victoria Leonardo vs. Liz Tracy at flyweight; Auttumn Norton vs. Brittney Cloudy at bantamweight and Jennifer Chieng vs. Flore Hani at flyweight.
Cummins is coming off a five-round decision loss to Frey in an atomweight title bout at Invicta FC 39 on Feb. 7. Prior to that, “Smashley” had been victorious in four of her last professional appearances, with her only defeat during that period again coming at the hands of Frey.
Zappitella, meanwhile, enters the matchup riding the momentum of back-to-back triumphs over Kelly D’Angelo and Lindsey VanZandt under the Invicta banner. “Half Pint” has won four of her five promotional outings and is 7-2 with one no contest as a professional overall.
