Invicta had been hyping an announcement that would change something for the all-womens fight promotion and this does do that.
The UFC has signed a multiyear agreement with Invicta to air their live shows and archived events on the digital network. Their upcoming event is expected to take place late this summer and should feature Cris Cyborg defending her 145-pound title.
Invicta was founded in 2012 by former Strikeforce exec Shannon Knapp. Their current booker is Julie Kedzie.
They've run 7 shows to date between free internet strams, IPPV and regular PPV. For the most part, they put on very entertaining cards. Practically their entire strawweight division (115 pounds) was signed last year by the UFC and will be showcased on the fall season of TUF with Pettis & Melendez.
Aside from Cyborg, perhaps the biggest name they have is reigning atomweight (105 lbs) champ Michelle Waterson, The Karate Hottie.
Good news for Invicta.
