Enough interest here for an Invicta thread?

Invicta 5 saw a big upset with Michelle Waterson (AKA - the the Karate Hottie) taking the atomwieght title from Jessica Penne. Barb Honchak won the flywieght title. And Cristiane Santos had a very one-sided (tough to watch really) first round TKO victory over an over matched Fiona Muxlow. Some of the fights are on youtube.

Invicta 6 will be in July and headlined by Santos vs. Marloes Coenen.

I don't follow wmma really but I have to say that I take interest in this fight. Coenen has always been my favorite woman fighter for some reason and Cyborg my least favorite. Coenen just seems super professional and like a genuinely good person, while Cyborg is obviously a cheater.

I'm a big Invicta fan. Glad to see it finally get it's own thread.

I like their PPV model. I imagine UFC might consider something like that eventually for prelims, assuming the roster continues to get stacked.

Now they're operating on a standard cable PPV, with rumors they might move to Showtime.

Sooo I see Cyborg KOed Coenen. Anyone watch this or know how it went?

I admit, I don't really care about wmma, but if I did have a fav fighter from there it would be Coenen. And I absolutely loathe the cheater Guyborg, so this one hurts.

I have not gotten a chance to watch this yet, but I hear it was another solid night of fights for Invicta.

I only saw the last two rounds and it was a thumping, both in the 10-8 range. It made me wonder how Coenan survived the first two.

That sucks.

Like Cyborg or not, she is a monster. With or without the PEDs.

Are we sure we have seen her perform without them? Its like Overeem was. Its just so obvious that its disgusting.

I'm not sure we can ever be sure we see anyone perform without them. I was going on the assumption that she is now fighting clean.

Meh, we can't be 100% certain about anyone (though there are a few guys I'd be floored about), but some people are a lot more obvious than others. Guyborg and Testostereem come to mind.

Do you think Rousey could armbar her?

She could, but I think more likely Cyborg would pound Rousey into the ground.

I would disagree with this if Rousey weren't so terrified of Cyborg. But she is, so I don't.

LOL. Rousey is great, but she has never been in with a monster like Cyborg.
