Invicta FC 12 Slated for Kansas City on April 24
Invicta Fighting Championships is returning home.
The all-women’s promotion will hold its 12th event at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., on Friday, April 24. The event will air live on UFC Fight Pass.
The fight card will mark the organization’s return to its base of operations, where it held its first eight events. Over the last six months, however, Invicta has held events in Davenport, Iowa, Houston and Los Angeles.

In the night’s main event, strawweight champion Katja Kankaanpää squares off with Livia Renata Souza.
Finland’s Kankaanpää captured Invicta gold at Invicta FC 8 in September with a fifth-round submission win over Stephanie Eggink. The 33-year-old has amassed 10 wins in her 12 career fights and will look to defend her 115-pound belt for the first time. The “Killer Bunny” has tasted defeat just once, against current UFC fighter Joanne Calderwood at Invicta FC 7.
ONE Championship: Unbreakable III Preview and Predictions
February 2, 2021
First, she won the ONE kickboxing title. The Muay Thai crown followed. Now, Stamp Fairtex has her sights set on ONE’s women’s atomweight championship. Can she complete the hat trick? Only time will tell.
Stamp isn’t fighting for a belt at Friday’s
ONE Championship: Unbreakable III, but she needs to get past opponent Alyona Rassohyna to move one step closer to a crack at the gold. Thus far, Stamp is undefeated through five opponents in her MMA campaign. Only two of those foes come even close to half the experience that Ukraine’s Rassohyna will carry into the cage this weekend in Singapore. The 16-fight veteran is a skilled grappler, too, which could pose problems for a striker like Stamp.
