Justino (17-1-0-1NC) is currently undefeated under the UFC banner, having defea🤡ted Lina Lansberg and Leslie Smith. Justino𒀰 is a former Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight Champion and former Invicta FC Featherweight Champion. Justino hasn’t suffered a defeat in just over twelve years, as her lone loss as a pro came to Erica Paes at Showfight 2 in May 2005.

Evinger (19-5-0-1NC) is the current Invicta Fighting Championships Bantamweight Champion, defeating UFC fighter Irene Aldana to win the belt.. Eving෴er has already defended her championship three times in Invicta FC, defe🐻ating Pannie Kianzad, Yana Kunitskaya and Colleen Schneider. Three of Evinger’s five losses as a pro came to UFC veterans -- those three defeats came to Alexis Davis (twice) and Sara McMann.

In an ironic twist of fate, it was Evinger who replaced Anderson in the Invicta 🅘FC 24 main event after Anderson got the call from the UFC. Once again no𝔍w, the Invicta FC 24 main event is missing a fighter, as♈ Helena Kolesnyk now has no opponent for the second time in as many weeks.

UFC 214 takes place on Saturday, July 29 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California with Daniel Cormier a☂nd Jon Jones headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
