Invicta Fighting Championships, the world’s leading all-female mixed martial arts promotion, returns with another event on Friday with a championship belt at stake. Invicta FC 19 is anchored by Jennifer Maia defending her “interim” flyweight title against fan favorite Roxanne Modafferi.
Since losing to DeAnna Bennett at Invicta FC 10 nearly two years ago, Maia has been on a tear. The Chute Boxe fighter has won four straight, two via knockout and she looks to continue her winning ways on Friday. Modafferi, meanwhile, is on her best run since 2007-08; “The Happy Warrior” has won two in a row and four of five overall.
