After attending Invicta FC 21 last year in Kansas City and seeing fighters’ corners carrying signs with product names on it, Hannibal Buress had a genius idea – or so he thought it was a genius idea. “A Kansas City Toyota dealership is sponsoring a fighter?

BAD MMA News — Sun, 25 Mar 2018 22:11:53 +0000

UFC middleweight Elias Theodorou took on a side job as “ring boy” at Invicta FC 28 in Salt Lake City. Was it harmless fun? A meaningful step towards gender equality?

Invicta FC 28 highlights: New champ crowned, bloody victory for Kal Schwartz, Pearl Gonzalez wins

BAD MMA News — Sun, 25 Mar 2018 12:56:40 +0000

Six of nine bouts on Saturday’s Invicta FC 28 card went the distance, but Kal Schwartz (2-1) was one who bucked the decision trend. Schwartz unloaded on fellow strawweight Kay Hansen (1-1) standing up, and then she continued the beatdown with a suplex and ground and pound to set up the second-round TKO victory – a bloody one at that. Invicta FC 28 took place at Union Event Center in Salt Lake City, and the entire card streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

Also on the card, DeAnna Bennett (9-3-1) edged Karina Rodriguez (6-3) via split decision in the catchweight co-headliner, and recent UFC fighter Pearl Gonzalez (7-3) earned a dominant unanimous-decision win over previously undefeated Kali Robbins (5-1) in a strawweight bout

But the real reason for Theodorou doing this is simple. He wants to raise awareness on gender equality, which “The Spartan” explained so eloquently in this interview with the BBC .
