Invicta FC has upped the ante for its main event Friday night.
The promotion announced Thursday at weigh-ins that Barb Honchak has been stripped of the flyweight title and the interim tag is off the Invicta FC 19 headline bout. Jennifer Maia is the new undisputed champion and she'll defend that belt against Roxanne Modafferi. Both women made weight, making the fight official Thursday morning.
An Invicta FC official told MMA Fighting that Honchak was stripped due to inactivity. Honchak (10-2) has not fought since November 2014. The 37-year-old has held the title since 2013, defending it three times before this extended layoff which has been due to injuries and personal reasons.
