MMA betting online: Brazil’s Herica Tiburcio (9-2, 7 SUBs) will defend her Invicta atomweight championship belt against challenger Ayaka Hamasaki (11-1, 2 KOs, 4 SUBs) at Invicta FC 13.
The bout will take place on a night with three titles on the line, including a headlining featherweight championship match between Cris “Cyborg” Justino and Faith van Duin. It’s Invicta’s biggest event yet, and it’s fittingly taking place in Las Vegas, the fight capital of the world.

Tiburcio will be making her first title defense, since beating Michelle Waterson last December to get her hands on the belt. She has now won four consecutive fights, with those victories coming in regional promotions such as MMASH and Talent MMA. She does own a loss to Claudia Gadelha, who is widely considered the UFC’s No. 1 strawweight contender.
Hamasaki also suffered a loss to Gadelha in July 2013 – the first defeat of her career. However, she’s since bounced back with two straight wins in Japan’s Deep promotion. The 33-year old veteran has also fought in Shooto, Jewels and Deep, which are the premier promotions in Asia. At 5’2”, she’ll carry a size advantage in the cage against the 4’11” champion.
If you bet on Hamasaki vs. Tiburcio with our online MMA odds, I’d probably lean towards Tiburcio in this match. She’s more than 10 years the junior of the challenger, and has a feisty submission game that has netted her seven submissions in nine fights. While I think Hamasaki is experienced enough to hold her off for five rounds, I see Tiburcio controlling this matchup on the ground en route to a unanimous decision victory.
