Women’s MMA Report: UFC adds strawweight division, Invicta FC crowns new champ

BAD MMA News — Wed, 25 Dec 2013 00:54:52 +0000

The MMA landscape is set to change once again when the UFC adds a second women’s weight class – the talent-rich 115-pound strawweight division – to its roster in 2014. UFC President Dana White announced the news on Dec. 11 and confirmed the division will launch during “The Ultimate Fighter 20,” which begins filming in May. Unlike in past seasons of the long-running show in which winners earned trophies and six-figure contracts with the UFC, the “TUF 20” victor will be crowned the first UFC women’s strawweight champion. A total of 16 women will compete on the show, and 11 have already been named. All 11 fighters come to the UFC after having their contracts transferred from Invicta FC

Invicta FC 7 results: Barb Honchak outlasts Leslie Smith to retain belt

BAD MMA News — Sun, 08 Dec 2013 06:10:12 +0000

As expected, Leslie Smith (6-4-1) proved a worthy challenger, but Barb Honchak (9-2) proved an equally upstanding champion, retaining her Invicta FC flyweight title belt in a 25-minute slugfest. The contest served as the main event of Saturday’s Invicta FC 8 event, which took place at Missouri’s Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City and aired on pay-per-view. After some back-and-forth action to open the bout, Honchak scored a takedown late in the frame and transitioned quickly to the back, where she looked to sneak in a rear-naked choke. However, Smith was active in defense and rolled to keep her neck free.
