Invicta FC 17 lands at The Hangar in Orange County

Invicta FC 17 already had a main event: Tonya Evinger vs. Colleen Schneider for Evinger's bantamweight title.

Now the event has a home. Invicta announced Thursday the card will be held at The Hangar at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif. on May 7.

The 34-year-old Evinger (16-6) has been fighting professionally since 2006 and is on the hottest run of her career. The Houston native has won eight straight fights, including all five of her Invicta matchups, and is making the second defense of her title.

Schneider (10-6), meanwhile, has been a study in the power of persistence.
