Niedźwiedź was making her second promotional appearance, having defeated veteran Christine Stanley at Invicta FC 18.
The co-main event also took place in the flyweight division as veteran Roxanne Modafferi faced off with Sarah D’Alelio. Modafferi aimed to get back into title contention, having fallen short in her title conquest at Invicta FC 19.
