Damn Marloes looking fucking tasty like a latin mans white girl dream.

She's very pretty and I just hope Cyborg don't hurt her too badly

Coenen is my favourite female fighter so she must win. I´ll put my money on Cyborg.

Some great fights, as expected with Invicta.

Especially Esparza/Hamasaki, Calderwood/Gadelha, and Hyatt/Inoue.

Invicta is getting better for each event but I suspect UFC will pick the top girls from the Invicta roster all the time. Is Invicta Zuffa sponsored? I think so.

An alright card, I'm still not a big fan of their event production(feels like wannabe Strikeforce) but the fights are solid.

Here's hoping the rematch between Coenen and Cyborg is a bit more competitive.

That Fallen Cox is my favorite fighter.

Invicta is clearly owned by zuffa. How can a rinky dink little promotion in Kansas City afford to fly in fighters from japan and austrailia and pay strikeforce wages to undercard fighters while selling virtually zero tickets in a tiny little venue with no Tv deal.

JEWELS just died and Japan had a established joshi scene and a strong live ticket presence. Invicta claims all this BS about live streams but they average about 5k views on their videos on youtube and they forgot to hide the views on ustream of the ondamand views which were about 1.5k.

Yep, I tried to give them a chance but I really hate this org. With the zuffa birth and that butt pirate mauro calling the play by play it's hard to even watch a free stream.

Damn LOL guess I'm the lone Guy who appreciates what invicta has done so far.
Another possibility is the rumors of invicta getting the deal with shotime which would give them a decent bankroll and reason to acquire more fighters.

UFC only has the 135 weight division, and I dont see them adding a new women's division anytime soon or even at all. Its safe to say most female talent will be fighting in Invicta for the moment.

They will build fighters in Invicta and then let the top girls fight in the UFC 135 division.

yes, my point was that they will only bleed the talent of one female division while invicta has 5 divisions.

Fighters can move up and down a weight class so ufc can pick top fighters from 3 divisions.

Esparza is out, Hamasaki/Gadelha is the new co-main event

It's funny imagining Cyborg and Shlemenko having a conversation in English.  

It's hard to imagine Cyborg not beating Coenen again but it'd be cool if Marloes could win somehow.

I'm actually going to buy this.
