Mizuki Inoue has been forced off of the Invicta 26 card with an injury to a ligament in her left elbow. She is expected to recover fully within three months. Given the opportunity to fight inside of Japan with a taped elbow, Mizuki refused, stating that she is only interested in fighting for Invicta FC and the UFC. At Invicta 26, Mizuki was expected to return from over a year long absence that resulted from dual knee surgeries. With the news of her being forced off of next weeks card, some people seemed concerned that she had re-injured her knee. That is not the case as the surgeries were both successful and her knees are back at 100%.
