Så här skriver MMARising.com om matchningen Budd vs Nilsson:
Julia Budd
Budd (2-2-0) jumped right into the proverbial fire by making her pro MMA debut on a televised card for Strikeforce in October 2010 and she did not disappoint. The talented striker, already well-known for having defeated Gina Carano in a Muay Thai bout, dominated Shana “Rock Solid” Nelson for just shy of eight minutes en route to a TKO victory. The win put Budd on a short list of contenders for then-champ Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos, but a shocking 14-second knockout loss to Amanda Nunes removed Budd from the immediate title picture. She rallied back with a decision victory over fellow Muay Thai standout Germaine de Randamie this past June, but is now looking to get back on the winning track after a quick and gruesome submission loss to current Strikeforce titleholder Rousey in November.
Elina Nilsson
Nilsson (2-2-0) is one of the lesser known competitors on the Invicta FC 2 card, but the Swedish fighter sports a similar background to her opponent and an identical record. With her strength also based in Muay Thai, Nilsson has split her time between kickboxing and mixed martial arts bouts in Sweden. After setbacks in her first two forays into MMA competition, Nilsson has won back-to-back fights and is coming off of her most notable victory to date in May 2011. Nilsson faced off against a tough opponent in England’s Danielle “The Curse” West and emerged victorious via third-round TKO. She has not competed since the bout with West, however, and faces a solid test in her U.S. debut.
Invicta Fighting Championships 2 takes place on July 28th at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas.
