April 1st is a day where people play pranks on each other all around the world, so when I heard the news of the supernova from Meldova signing with Invicta fighting Championship I was hesitant to get excited. That is until Marina made the official announcement on the MMA roasted podcast yesterday.
If I wasn’t out and about all day yesterday I would’ve posted about this much sooner. Nonetheless this is a HUGE signing for invictaFC. Shafir will be a competing at 145lbs placing her in an already stacked featherweight division. Shafir has an overall fight record of (5-1) and professionally she stands at (1-1)
Her last fight took place in August of last year where she suffered a first round TKO lost against Amanda Bell.
Shafir is still very young in the fight game and shows tons of potential. It would be great to see her get a rematch against Bell (Bell also recently signed with invicta) or maybe somewhere down the line we can see a Shafir vs Cyborg match up (that’s if cyborg stays at 145)
Only time will tell but one thing is Forsure the supernova from Meldova is sure to shake up the featherweight divison and make a giant impact on InvictaFC.
I know as a fan myself I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Marina. As someone who had the honor of seeing her fight live and meeting her I know she’s a force to be reckon with.
How do you guys feel about invicta’s newest athlete. Let us know in the comments below.
