Invicta FC 18 results: Alexa Grasso bloodies, beats Jodie Esquibel after 17-month layoff

Invicta FC has missed Alexa Grasso, one of its most marketable fighters. She came back in a big way Friday night.

Grasso dominated Ultimate Fighter alum Jodie Esquibel in a bloody affair in the main event of Invicta FC 18 in Kansas City. At the end of the impressive performance, the Mexican star earned herself a unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26) victory. Grasso will likely fight next for the Invicta women's strawweight title against champion Angela Hill.

The undefeated Grasso (8-0) landed her 1-2 combination pretty much the entire fight, hurting Esquibel in the first round and bloodying her up in the second.
