Women's MMA was back on display on Saturday night, as Invicta Fighting Championships returned to Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. The event streamed live at InvictaFC.com, and featured several recognizable names in the world of women's MMA, including former Olympian Sara McMann, who edged past Shayna Baszler in the night's main event.
That main event bout was a rare decision on the card, as ten of the night's 14 fights featured stoppages. That included wins by Strikeforce veterans Alexis Davis and Liz Carmouche, as they submitted Hitomi Akano and Kaitlin Young, respectively. If you missed Saturday night's event, all of the night's fights are available at Invicta FC's YouTube page. Full results for the event are below:
