Invicta FC 18 July 29 Kansas City, Mo

[leto1776]

• Strawweight: Alexa Grasso (7-0) vs. Jodie Esquibel (5-1)
• Flyweight: Agnieszka Niedzwiedz (7-0) vs. Christine Stanley (5-1)
• Bantamweight: Cindy Dandois (6-2) vs. Jessamyn Duke (3-4, 1 NC)
• Featherweight: Megan Anderson (6-2) vs. Peggy Morgan (4-3)
• Strawweight: Mizuki Inoue (11-4) vs. Lynn Alvarez (6-3)
• Bantamweight: Sijara Eubanks (1-1) vs. Amberlynn Orr (0-0)
• Bantamweight: Aspen Ladd (3-0) vs. Jessica Hoy (1-0)
• Atomweight: Tessa Simpson (4-1) vs. Simona Soukupova (5-3-1)

Grasso vs. Esquibel and Aldana vs. Santos have title implications in their respective divisions. It's less than a month away now, but I hope they add a fight or two.

Update: Manjit Kolekar withdraws from fight against Alvarez due to visa issues. Mizuki Inoue steps in on 15 days notice.
Update 7/26: Aldana vs. Santos pulled, Claudia Rey replaced by Christine Stanley.

I read this, and I instantly pictured Duke waking up in the morning and saying this aloud. I can't stop laughing now.

I can't see Aldana getting another TS so quickly

I can't see Aldana getting another TS so quickly

If she wins it'll be her second since her loss to Eveinger. In terms of marketability, her fightstyle, appearance, and personality are all more aesthetically pleasing than Evinger's, so you can't blame Invicta for wanting a marketable champion.

 

[kimocomplex]

yay Lynn Alvarez

hope they add several more fights, although i know they probably will just add one or two

 

[Tobago Jones]

Fuck it, just to be different i'm picking Duke for the upset win.

 

[Daniel4802]

In terms of competitive fights, this card should deliver with the exception of the Aldana and Megan fights. Lots of new and talented prospects as well.

If Cyborg didn't get bitten, and the card were to be in California as originally planned, we could have had her there as well as see Tiffany Van Soest debut.

 

[kimocomplex]

van Soest on this card would be great

• Flyweight: Agnieszka Niedzwiedz (7-0) vs. Claudia Rey (6-0) is the fight I am looking forward to most. Because I was so looking forward to that Cage Warriors bout between Pannie Kianzad vs. Agnieszka Niedzwiedz. Never knew why Agnieszka Niedzwiedz dropped out but they pretty much gave Pannie the belt. Then Agnieszka Niedzwiedz disappeared for a long tong time .. now she is back going against another undeafeated fighter, for me this is the top event.

It's too bad Invicta, for whatever reasons, couldn't grab Mackenzie Dern and Brieta Carpenter as well. Those two ladies would put more butts in seats. Since Carpenter just fought, we could have also had Dern debut on this card, too.

Wow. Jessica Hoy is a lightweight and weighed in at 153.6 lbs for her sole pro fight...EDIT: Read an interview and she said 145 would be her typical weight cut.

I swear I saw her fight before...

 

[Xuh]

Agnieszka Niedzwiedz disappeared for a long tong time ..

she was removed from competition for a few years due to an STD (pregnancy).

Two fights added:

BW Aspen Ladd (3-0) vs. Jessica Hoy (1-0)

RIP Jessica Hoy, we hardly knew ye.

Brieta Carpenter

Thanks. I was really wondering if Brieta was going to accept Pancrase's contract which was offered to her. Sucks for Pancrase but a huge signing for Invicta.
