It actually isn&#8217;t even the second time! But the third(and hopefully final) time that these two have been booked to face each other.<\/p>\n<p>It goes back to the early days of Invicta. Esparza and Gadelha were the clear two very best 115-pound fighters on the planet so it only made sense for them to square off for the world title. And that was the plan&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Invicta FC booked the two in a fight for Invicta FC 4 to crown their inaugural strawweight champion. Unfortunately, Gadelha suffered a broken nose prior to the fight and was unable to compete thus bumping Bec Rawling into her place to fill in.<\/p>\n<p>Esparza would go on to defeat Rawlings by unanimous decision and be crowned the first ever Invicta 115 champion. After this, Esparza would look to defend her title against Ayaka Hamasaki but suffered\u00a0a knee injury. Now Invicta would look to re-setup the fight they had initially planned on having.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Invicta FC 7&#8230;Esparza vs Gadelha in the co-main event. Each fighter makes it to weigh-ins and makes the championship mark. All systems were go! It was going to happen, we were going to find out who the best really was. Until&#8230;Gadelha fell ill and couldn&#8217;t make it to fight night.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/gQUtTPkkGGJ05mNrAl6LyG_TGDM=\/0x0:1200x800\/1200x800\/filters:focal(498x246:690x438)\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_image\/image\/52126095\/1410689_564718863620825_1930188659_o.0.jpeg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not often that fighters get so close to fighting each other without actually doing so.

Gadelha lost a unanimous decision to fellow Brazilian, Jessica Andrade back in September.
