Invicta Fighting Championships has set a date and location for their sixth event, and they've got the card almost entirely lined up as well. Invicta FC 6 will see them return to the Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City, Mo. on Saturday, July 13, headlined by the IFC Women's Featherweight Title bout between Marloes Coenen and Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos.
