The ever awesome Invicta FC 16 takes place Friday night, live on UFC Fight Pass. But before every fight, there is a weigh in, and this one was spectacular.

Invicta atomweight champion Ayaka Hamasaki fights Amber Brown in the main event, withJennifer Maia vs. Vanessa Porto for the vacant interim flyweight title in the main. However, Roxanne Modafferi and Angela Hill stole the weigh in show. Hill appeared as Dhalsim from Street Fighter while Modafferi and a whole team of fighters from Syndicate MMA appeared as character from Mortal Combat.

Irene Aldana and Herica Tiburcio came in heavy by a pound for their respective divisions, and started to rehydrate. However, their contracts allow for an extra pound beyond the one pound over the division limit normally given, so there will be no fine. The extra extra pound is a sensible idea, given that women fighters’ menstrual cycles can make the challenging process of weight cutting even more miserable, via the body retaining water.

Invicta FC is available exclusively on UFC Fight Pass or live in the Trinidad Pavilion at Tropicana Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada. For ticket info please go to troplv.com.
