Legacy Fighting Alliance will crown its third-ever female
strawweight champion on April 23.
The promotion recently announced that
Pierangela Rodriguez Giunta will face Svetlana
Gotsyk for 115-pound gold in the main event of LFA 105 at the
Grand Event Center in Shawnee, Okla. The card will air on UFC Fight
Pass at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The LFA strawweight belt became vacant
after Lupita
Godinez signed with the UFC.
Giunta has kicked off her professional career with five triumphs on
the regional circuit in Panama and Spain. She has finished all but
one of those victories by knockout or technical knockout.
A native of Ukraine, Gotsyk is a former strawweight title holder
with the World Warriors Fighting Championship promotion. Her 13-4
career mark includes a notable TKO defeat to UFC champ Weili Zhang
in 2016 and 12 wins inside the distance.
The rest of the LFA 105 main card is as follows: Jake
Childers vs. Canaan
Kawaihae at featherweight; Bruce Souto
vs. Cristian
Torres at light heavyweight; Mark Martin
vs. Renato Valente at welterweight; Tabatha
Ricci vs. Shawna Ormsby at strawweight and Zac Pauga vs.
Logan
Nail at light heavyweight.
