Kay Hansen Replaces Kanako Murata, Faces Sharon Jacobson at Invicta FC 33

Kansas City, Mo. — The fight card for Invicta FC 33 has changed due to injury.

Strawweight newcomer Kanako Murata (8-1) has been forced out of her promotional debut against fellow wrestler Sharon Jacobson (5-3). Stepping in on short notice will be 19-year-old Kay Hansen (3-2).

Hansen was last in action in November, falling via hard-fought decision to Erin Blanchfield at Invicta FC 32. The Californian has finished all three of her career wins, including two inside the Invicta cage.

Jacobson has compiled a 3-1 record with the promotion, most recently defeating Ashley Nichols on the scorecards at Invicta FC 27 in January.

Invicta FC 33 takes place Saturday, Dec. 15, from the historic Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo. The card is headlined by an atomweight title rematch between champion Jinh Yu Frey (7-3) and Minna Grusander (6-2). The pair met previously in July, with the Texas fighter Frey edging Finland’s Grusander on the scorecards.
