Invicta Fighting Championships has been around for just over nine years now. The popular all-women’s promotion has seen a number of broadcast outlets over that time. Its early shows were at times hampered by the amount of demand for the content exceeding the capabilities of the streaming service the company chose. That finally changed when Invicta joined forces with UFC Fight Pass. Now, for the first time since Invicta FC 8, the organization has a new broadcast home. Invicta, which was recently acquired by Anthem Sports & Entertainment Inc. will now air its shows on Anthem-owned AXS TV. It’s the dawn of a new era.

The MMA Mashup focuses on DFS platforms exclusively, as we highlight more than a few dog plays that could work to provide leverage against the various fields. These include a UFC veteran returning for his second run with the company and a fighter with the lowest odds to win on the slate.
Plays to Consider on DraftKings
I ll begin here by making a bold (and regrettable) claim: I think the days of Tony Ferguson competing with the better fighters in this division are over. The former interim lightweight champion has always taken damage in fights, but he has looked particularly slow and mechanical of late, which resulted in one-sided contests against Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira. Dariush s striking seems to get better with every fight and his pedigree as a wrestler with a strong jiujitsu game could see him mirror the success that Do Bronx had over three rounds.
