Invicta FC to air on Fight – Signs Multi-Year Deal
The all female mixed martial arts organization headed by Shannon Knapp, Invicta Fighting Championships, has signed a multi-year deal which will allow the company to air their fights on UFC Fight , a paid monthly-subscription service launched earlier this year by the sport’s largest promotion, the UFC.
UFC FIGHT chief content officer Marshall Zelaznik said: “This is a historic multi-year, multi-event deal. When we launched UFC FIGHT last Christmas, we said that we would never rest in bringing the best value to our subscribers. The addition of live and archived Invicta programming is going to be of enormous interest to our existing subscribers and bring in new subscribers, too.”
Zelaznik added: “UFC FIGHT already has subscribers in over 155 countries, which is a huge platform the Invicta athletes. Invicta fighters are now sharing the same stage as elite UFC fighters like Alexander Gustafson, Conor McGregor, Cung Le and Michael Bisping. For any UFC fans that haven’t seen these women compete before – I guarantee they will be blown away when they see what Invicta is all about.”
Invicta FC president Shannon Knapp said: “This is a great day for my company. Since the start of Invicta, I’ve been committed to providing the biggest and best possible platform for women athletes and, with this distribution deal with UFC FIGHT , Invicta will reach the most ionate MMA fans, wherever they are in the world.”
In addition to every Invicta event screening live, the entire Invicta archive will be made available anytime, anywhere, on UFC FIGHT .
That means subscribers will be able to check out fights featuring talents like atomweight world champion Michelle Waterson and flyweight title-holder Barb Honchak, as well as Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos, former Strikeforce champ Marloes Coenen and early-career fights of UFC stars like Alexis Davis, Cat Zingano and Liz Carmouche.
The Invicta FC library s the libraries of PRIDE FC, Strikeforce, WEC, WFA, EliteXC, Affliction Entertainment and the UFC on UFCFIGHT.com.
Invicta will be announcing the first event to be screened on UFCFIGHT.com shortly.
Knapp said: “We are targeting a late-summer event, headlined by a world title fight. This is an historic event for myself, the company and my athletes, and every one of them is going to want to be on this first card.”
