Known as the “German Gypsy,” Lehner has rebounded from a four-bout
skid from 2018 to 2022 to win two of her last three professional
outings. Most recently, she took a split verdict over Shanna Young
at Invicta FC 60 on Feb. 7.
A former Bellator competitor, Rubin has gone 2-3 under the Invicta
banner since joining the organization in 2022. The 35-year-old

Cantuaria and Talita
Bernardo.
