As Invicta FC continues its steady ascent – and as the UFC adds women’s divisions and helps put Mexico on the MMA map – could Invicta FC fighters and Mexican boxers Alexa Grasso and Irene Aldana be the next big things? The two fighters are in action later tonight at Invicta FC, which streams on UFC Fight Pass from Los Angeles’ Shriners Auditorium. Grasso (6-0), a 21-year-old who’s become a quick hit after two spirited Invicta FC victories, takes on fellow strawweight Mizuki Inoue (8-3) in the co-headliner. In the main-card opener, Aldana (4-1), a 26-year-old who has three knockouts and a submission in four career wins, takes on veteran bantamweight Colleen Schneider (6-5). Ahead of their bouts, we talked to Grasso and Aldana about the boxing roots and what fans can expect from them tonight and in the future. Check out the full video above
