Rodriguez recently confirmed the deal following an initial report
from
MMAjunkie.com. A date and opponent for Rodriguez’s promotional
debut are currently unknown.
The 36-year-old Lobo Gym MMA representative has won four of her
last five under the Invicta banner — with her lone defeat during
that stretch coming against current Bellator talent Vanessa
Porto.
Rodriguez claimed flyweight gold with a five-round verdict over
Daiana
Torquato at Invicta on AXS TV in May 2021 and retained the belt
with a split-decision triumph in a rematch at Invicta FC 46 on
March 9. She owns other notable victories against the likes of
DeAnna
Bennett and Milana
Dudieva.
