The promotion will crown its first flyweight champion as Pearl Gonzales takes Cortney Casey. Both Casey (121.6) and Gonzlaes (123.2) made weight. 

Casey is the former Tuff-n-uff flyweight champ and won impressively in her pro debut, getting the rear naked choke win over Kelly Warren in her pro debut at XFC 24.

Gonzalez went 7-1 as an ammy and lost a majority decision in her pro debut against Munah Holland. Gonzalez would rebound and win her XFC debut, getting the armbar win over Suzie Montero.

The other fight will feature strawweights Hannah Cifers (113.2) and Heather Jo Clark (113.2). Cifer will make her pro debut, as she went undefeated in her first seven fights as an amateur.

Clark (5-4), is coming off a split decision loss to Felice Herrig at Bellator this past March.

The match will air on AXS-TV Friday night.
