Delboni, the reigning champion, tipped the scales at 104.8 pounds,
while Jillian
DeCoursey checked in at 104.7. Invicta FC 49 takes place on
Wednesday at the Sugar Creek Casino in Hinton, Okla., and airs on
AXS TV and the Invicta FC YouTube channel and Facebook page
beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
After a controversial loss to Alesha
Zappitella in her first title bid in May 2021, Delboni claimed
the atomweight throne with a five-round verdict in a rematch at
Invicta FC 45 on Jan. 12. The Parana Vale Tudo representative has
won three of her last four fights under the Invicta FC banner.
DeCoursey has also been victorious in three of her last four
professional appearances. Most recently, “Lionheart” scored a
61-second KO of Lindsey
VanZandt to run her career mark to 5-3.
