The judoka is just 1-1 in her professional MMA career, and hasn't fought since a loss to current Invicta competitor Amanda Bell last August. The only member of the "Four Horsewomen" outside of the UFC, Shafir will join the featherweight roster in Invicta, where Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino holds court as Champion.
Prior to her loss last August, Shafir had won five straight fights as an amateur before transitioning to the pro ranks, and she picked up a submission win in her pro debut last April. She did not reveal when her debut would come.
