Invicta FC’s last event took place in November 2020. It wasn’t until shortly after that the world as we know it would be forced to change and adapt to the times. At this point, a promotional staple of the 125-pound flyweight class, Karina Rodriguez, hadn’t fought since the prior November.
Friday, May 21 marks the return of Invicta as well as Rodriguez. But it won’t just be any old occasion – the event signifies a new era for the all-women organization as they debut on AXS TV. For one of Mexico’s finest, she gets the opportunity to be the last fighter walking to the cage that night when battling for the vacant flyweight title.
“It’s pretty exciting getting to be a part of this new era of Invicta,” Rodriguez told MyMMANews. “It’s amazing that they put me in the main event to be a part of this historical event for them. I think Invicta is growing a lot and it’s the biggest platform for female fighters, and I know that this is going to be something pretty big for them and for us because more people are going to be able to see our fights and to know us so I’m pretty excited. I know this is going to be a great one.
“I was waiting for my comeback to the cage and this was the best way it could be. I wasn’t expecting something so big.”
