With latest offering, Invicta FC showing signs of a roster raided by the UFC

Back when the UFC first decided that it wanted to get into the business of women’s MMA, which also happened to be right around the same time that Invicta FC was finding its footing as the only all-female fight promotion in North America, Invicta President Shannon Knapp used to get a lot of questions about how her organization could survive with the UFC siphoning off its best 135-pounders to co-star in the Ronda Rousey show. Back then, Knapp had one standing answer to the question , and it was a pretty good one: The UFC had one women’s division, while Invicta had five. In other words, there were plenty of good fighters to go around. Then the UFC added another women’s division – 115 pounds, which also threatened to cull the more ambitious fighters from the divisions just above and just below – and still, Knapp insisted, it wasn’t a big deal. Still plenty of fighters, plenty of talent, enough to populate a full fight card with no problem.

Filed under: News , UFC , Videos On Saturday, Barb Honchak will once again look to maintain her status as the world’s best women’s flyweight. Honchak (9-2) takes on Takayo Hashi (15-4-1) in the main event of Invicta FC 9 at Rivercenter in Davenport, Iowa. And she’ll get some great exposure in an event that streams live on UFC Fight Pass. She should have some home crowd advantage, too, since she trains in the Quad Cities. A year and a half ago, Honchak had a 25-minute war with Vanessa Porto in the co-main event of Invicta FC 5, where she won the promotion’s inaugural 125-pound title.

Backed by ‘dream team,’ Kaitlin Young ready for fresh start at Invicta FC 9

BAD MMA News — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 22:24:27 +0000

Kaitlin Young has made all the necessary changes to thrive in her Invicta FC 9 bout against Raquel Pa’aluhi. All she has to do now is execute. On the surface, Young doesn’t appear to be anything special. Her record shows more losses than wins and she hasn’t emerged victorious from a professional contest in nearly three years. What the numbers alone don’t show, though, is Young has faced the biggest and best names the sport has to offer dating back to her debut bout in October 2007. Young has shared the ring or cage with the likes of Miesha Tate, Gina Carano, Julie Kedzie, Liz Carmouche, Leslie Smith, Lauren Murphy and more

Invicta FC 9 headliner Barb Honchak: Hashi will be ‘too tough for her own good’

BAD MMA News — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 18:24:27 +0000

Durability can be a blessing in MMA, but for Barb Honchak , she believes that same attribute will be the downfall of Invicta FC 9 opponent Takayo Hashi. “From my point of view, she’s going to be too tough for her own good,” Honchak told MMAjunkie. “I plan to take away her tools so she doesn’t have a whole lot to use. Then she’s just going to get beat up.” Many Japanese fighters have shown resilience to be among their traits in fights. Hashi has proven in past performances that she can take a beating for five rounds and still win the fight at any time
