Invicta FC 33 Results: Frey Squeaks Past Grusander Again, Taylor Edges Ruiz

On Saturday, Dec. 15, Invicta Fighting Championships hosted its 33rd event from the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo.

In the night’s main event, atomweight champion Jinh Yu Frey rematched Minna Grusander. The pair battled at Invicta FC 30 earlier this year, with the Texas fighter Frey capturing the belt via controversial decision. Finland’s Grusander was out for revenge in her third promotional appearance.

The card also featured the promotional debut of UFC veteran Danielle Taylor, who met fellow newcomer Monserrat Ruiz in a strawweight contest.
