On the Vegas Strip with Invicta FC, finding comfort and survival in the UFC’s shadow

BAD MMA News — Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:40:14 +0000

Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino LAS VEGAS – The look on Faith Van Duin ’s face when Cristiane Justino landed the right hand early on in their main event bout at Invicta 13 was a familiar one. It’s a look I’ve seen before at weddings and rodeos. It’s the look the child gives when looking down from the top of the too-tall waterslide. It’s a look that could best be described as : On second thought.. . As in, At first I thought this was a good idea, but on second thought… Or maybe even, I wondered what it would take to wrest that Invicta featherweight title away from the woman they call ‘Cyborg.’ But on second thought… This is the gift of the power puncher

Invicta FC 13′s Faith Van Duin is nervous – but not because she’s fighting ‘Cyborg’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 12:12:02 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Before her pro debut just a couple years ago, Faith Van Duin was admittedly a non-athletic, lazy, goal-lacking mom who was doing little to inspire her young daughters. Now? She’s a day away from fighting the most fearsome 145-pound female fighter in the world. At Thursday’s Invicta FC 13 event at Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Van Duin (5-1) meets reigning featherweight champion Cristiane Justino (13-1) in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed headliner. It’s an enormous challenge for the 29-year-old New Zealander, who began training three-and-a-half years ago with no real athletic background to speak of.

Women’s MMA Report: Paige VanZant silences doubters, Invicta 12 on deck

BAD MMA News — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 22:42:49 +0000

Paige VanZant and Felice Herrig Proving her critics wrong again, Paige VanZant earned her second octagon victory in impressive fashion on Saturday night at UFC on FOX 15 in Newark, N.J. Competing in her most high-profile bout to date, the 21-year-old Reebok-sponsored fighter easily defeated veteran contender Felice Herrig in a featured strawweight bout on the FOX-televised main card. Leading into Saturday’s fight, some predicted that the hype surrounding VanZant (5-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) would come to an abrupt halt with a loss to Herrig (10-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who has been competing professionally in MMA for more than six years. Instead, just as she did in her November UFC debut, VanZant silenced doubters with another commanding victory. Herrig’s best success came in Round 1 when she threatened with a rear-naked choke after reversing a takedown. However, VanZant has proven to be highly adept at escaping from submissions throughout her young career, and Saturday was no different.
