MMA is back on AXS TV wit Invicta Fighting Championships: the world’s premier all-women mixed martial arts promotion. Fans can look forward to a wide variety of Invicta events, including world championship fight nights, the popular PHOENIX© tournaments, tentpole Pay-Per-View events plus behind the scenes programming.
Invicta FC was founded in 2012 by experienced combat sports executive Shannon Knapp. Over the last nine years, the promotion has changed the face of MMA. Knapp has promoted over 400 fights across Invicta’s 46 all-women events featuring – and often discovering – a who’s who of the greatest fighters of all time including Rose Namajunas, Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino and Amanda Nunes. She said: “This is a huge moment for Invicta and for women in the sport. Invicta FC was founded to give female mixed martial artists a platform where they could compete and prove the doubters wrong. Now, as part of the Anthem portfolio and with shows on national television for the first time, Invicta’s platform will be bigger than ever, and more people will have the opportunity to see the world’s elite female athletes compete. With Anthem’s backing, it’s going to be easier than ever for our fans to catch all the Invicta action and for new fans to find out exactly why Invicta is one of the world’s most exciting fight promotions.”
The first INVICTA FC on AXS TV card will feature a world championship fight and be broadcast live on AXS TV in the United States on Friday, May 21st. The event will also be available digitally to Invicta’s many fans outside of North America including AXS’s digital property AXS TV NOW.
