Invicta FC wrapped up its 2024 on Friday, with a bantamweight title fight headlining Invicta FC 59 in Atlanta, Georgia.
That fight saw champ Talita Bernardo take on fellow UFC alum Jennifer Maia, a former champ in the promotion at 125lbs (not to mention a title challenger in the UFC) who had a made a new home at bantamweight.
Also in action on the night, former Invicta strawweight champ Valesca “Tina Black” Machado, taking on Yasmin Castanho, and ex-Bellator star and former flyweight title challenger for that promotion, Alejandra Lara. The always sunny Lara was paired up with Paula Bittencourt.
In the co-main event, Jackie Cataline, having fought everywhere from Bellator to the PFL to (not so much fighting, but she competed there) Dana White’s PowerSlap, returned looking to win two straight under the Invicta FC banner against Riley Martinez.
