Comments
I didn't get to watch becuse the server was don or overloaded at the starting bell
but
I hope Invicta keeps on putting on such great, talent-loaded shows
With any luck we will get to see many of the top ladies on the international front compete here.
Maybe Zuffa will buy Invicta and merge it with Strikeforce to be their WMMA wing?
starting to see quite a few very skilled female fighters competing, wont be long till there is enough to make a decent WMMA. although i have noticed there does seem to be MANY mismatches in woman`s mma!
