Oct 8, 2012 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- KANSAS CITY, KAN. (Oct. 6, 2012) –Atomweight
(105 pounds) superstar Jessica
Penne (10-1) of Laguna Hills, Calif. was crowned the first-ever
Invicta Fighting Championships world champion after submitting
previously undefeated Naho
Sugiyama (8-1) of Kyoto, Japan with a triangle choke in the
second round (2:20) of the main event at Memorial Hall in Kansas
City on Saturday night, live on InvictaFC.com
In bantamweight (135 pounds) co-main event action, Shayna Baszler (15-7) of Sioux Falls, S.D. used a brilliant ground game to find an opening and submit rising star Sarah D’Alelio (6-3) of San Jose, Calif. with a rear-naked choke in the second round (:37) of action.
The much-anticipated bantamweight rematch between Leslie
Smith (4-2-1) of Pleasant Hill, Calif. and Kaitlin
Young (7-7-1) of St. Louis Park, Minn. played to a far
different tempo as the two rivals took their fight to the mat this
time around, rather than exchanging flurries of strikes as they did
during the first go-around at the inaugural Invicta FC card in
April. In the second round, Smith scrambled to top position off a
missed kneebar attempt, and from mount position, unloaded punches
until the referee stopped the contest at the 2:19 mark of the
round.
In other main card action, Cat Zingano (7-0) of Broomfield, Colo.and Michelle Waterson (10-3) of Albuquerque, N.M. notched their first wins under the Invicta FC banner. Zingano submitted Raquel Pennington (3-2) of Colorado Springs, Colo. with a rear-naked choke in the second round (3:32) of their matchup while Waterson, a protégé of MMA guru Greg Jackson, earned a majority decision over Lacey Schuckman.
In the opening main card bout, Julia Budd (4-2) of Port Moody, CA. notched her second Invicta FC victory by scoring a TKO on Danielle West (4-4-1) of London, U.K. in the first round (2:32) of action.
