Description

Phoenix Series 3 was a mixed martial arts event headlined by Lisa Verzosa against Julija Stoliarenko for the vacant Invicta Bantamweight Championship and will feature a one night bantamweight tournament as the third installment of the Phoenix Series. The participants in the tournament announced on February 5 were Kerri Kenneson, Brittney Victoria, Erin Harpe, Taneisha Tennant, Claire Guthrie, Hope Chase, Auttumn Norton, and Taylor Guardado. This event will feature open scoring between rounds after the Kansas Athletic Commission gave promoters this option following several controversial scorecards at UFC 247. On February 18, it was announced that Erin Harpe and Auttumn Norton had both pulled out of the tournament. As a result, Julia Ottolino, who was to compete in a tournament reserve bout, and Gillian Noll were added as replacements. Ottolino's original opponent, Serena DeJesus received a new opponent in Florina Moeller. On February 28, the scheduled fight between Amber Brown and Sharon Jacobson was cancelled after an injury to Brown. On March 2, four days before the event, Gillian Noll withdrew from the tournament and was replaced by Serena DeJesus, who had been scheduled to be in a tournament reserve bout. As a result, DeJesus was replaced by Kelly Clayton in the reserve bout against Florina Moeller.
