Invicta Fighting Championships returns with an interesting bantamweight fight atop the Invicta FC 56 card.

All fighters made weight for the mixed martial arts card, which features eight fights. The main event will see former flyweight queen and Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Jennifer Maia return to the promotion to face off against Mayra Cantuaria in a non-title bantamweight fight. Both women came in under 136 pounds to make the fight official.

Maia (21-10-1) had an up-and-down UFC stint that saw her unsuccessfully challenge for Valentina Shevchenko's flyweight title and won two out of her last three fights. However, recent wins over Maryna Moroz and Casey O'Neill weren't enough to keep the Brazilian inside the UFC after a loss to Viviane Araujo. Meanwhile, Cantuaria (10-5-1, 1 NC) recently won her Invicta debut by submitting Calie Cutler by rear-naked choke.

The Invicta FC 56 main card will air on CBS Sports Network at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Friday. Prelims will stream on Invicta’s official YouTube channel and Facebook page at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
