With the heavyweights kicking things off last week, the women's featherweight division will be showcased this week with a pair of former Invicta FC fighters facing off as Team Gastelum's Pannie Kianzad takes on Katharina Lehner from Team Whittaker.
Kianzad is definitely one of the most experienced fighters entering the competition this season from the women's featherweight division. She's a former Cage Warriors champion and she's faced a long list of top fighters throughout her career.
Lehner is another multi-fight veteran from Invicta FC, where she picked up a TKO win in her debut before falling to UFC veteran Sarah Kaufman in her most recent fight, which stands as the only loss on her record.
Elsewhere this week, Gastelum will deal with one of his fighters who didn't exactly come to the show ready to compete. In the past, fighters have struggled to make weight because they weren't totally prepared to compete during the early days of filming, and that can make for a tough situation. While it's tough to believe heavyweights would have those same struggles, there's at least one fighter on Gastelum's team who will raise a couple red flags in the upcoming episode.
