INVICTA FC 1: 'Coenen vs. Ruyssen' | 6TH ROUND RETRO

Welcome to the 6th Round Retro Post-Fight Show, featuring the debut of INVICTA, with INVICTA FC 1: Coenen vs. Ruyssen, from 2012. This is the show that digs into the archives and gives you a comprehensive review of classic MMA events, that span as far back as UFC 1. Join Victor Rodriguez & Dayne Fox of Bloody Elbow as they relive this Invicta 1 event this week, complete with results, analysis, and of course a few laughs.

On April 28th, 2012, INVICTA FC 1, an eleven-fight card, chock full of finishes with only three decisions (and a split draw) on the card, that went down from the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Missouri and was a turning point for women’s MMA.

So, the main event that night showcased Featherweights, Marloes Coenen, who was coming off a loss via Arm Triangle Choke against Miesha Tate, with a 19-4 professional record and was entering the octagon against France’s Romy Ruyssen, who had a professional record of only 5-1, but was coming into the fight on a four-fight win streak. With hindsight, we now know this would be her last professional fight, leaving the sport thereafter. In the co-main event we had Jessica Penne, with an impressive 7-1 record, including a couple bouts in Bellator MMA, beating her opponent, Lisa Ward that night via Punches in Round 3, despite her 14-6 record, and also having done some fighting for Bellator.

Also on the card, we had a younger Liz Carmouche decimating Ashleigh Curry with Punches at just 1:58 of Round 1, and in the event opener we had a swift finish when Cassie Rodish defeated Meghan Wright via SUB - Guillotine Choke at 0:36 of round 1.
