Invicta FC will get a new roster member next year, and it’ll come by way of an amateur tournament.
The promotion recently announced an eight-woman tourney will take place at World Class Fight League 20 in February, and the winner of that tournament will get an Invicta FC contract.
Details were a little scarce, including what division the tournament will be. In its tweet, with a graphic for World Class Fight League 20, the question was asked: “Which weight class should we do … 115LB, 125LB, 135LB or 145LB?”
World Class Fight League 20 takes place Feb. 16 in Tampa, Fla.
Invicta FC’s most recent event took place in late August in Lemoore, Calif. The all-women’s promotion returns next month with Invicta FC 26 at Park Theater in Las Vegas on Nov. 30.
Invicta FC currently has champions in four of its five divisions. Ayaka Hamasaki holds the belt at atomweight; Jennifer Maia holds the title at flyweight; Yana Kunitskaya is the bantamweight champion; and Megan Anderson is the beltholder at featherweight. The strawweight title has been vacant since February, when Angela Hill went to the UFC.
