Invicta FC 14

Lyaiera

Anyone else watching this? First fight on now.

They're lightweights in the first fight so heavier than what the UFC would show. Some heavier punches being thrown than what you generally see.

Good first fight, they were really going for each other. They were straight into each others faces in the first minute, punches being thrown. Once Spencer had her on the ground she just pounded away at her. In fairness to Riley she tried to get out of the hold, but couldn't do much and it was rightfully stopped.

Second fight was really good. Aspen Ladd just dominated on the ground. First round she was all about figuring her opponent out, and there's a lot of dancing on the mat. Second round she seems to be hit with a punch but takes it on the chin and it and instantly drops for a takedown. She dominates on the ground, goes for a RNC, her opponent breaks out and but Ladd lands some huge elbows before submitting her with an arm bar.

This is looking like another good Invicta.

Bit of a mismatch in the third. Aldrich's striking was just another level. She's someone I'd like to see again.

Fourth fight was good. Two good strikers, McCarthy looks inexperienced and like she could do with more MMA training. McCarthy talked in the interview about being a boxer and she has a real amateur boxer in-and-out style and careful about engagement. She really came to the fore in the last round when she needed a KO. Frey looked stronger, and her punches more impactful but the real difference was Frey's two takedowns in the first and second round.

I liked the look of McCarthy and with more fights and more MMA training she could do well. Frey actually looked a little sloppy, wild in her punches, even if that meant they looked more powerful when they landed. She didn't deal well with closing the distance and for a striker she rarely seemed to look to control any engagement with any straight punch.

That was a strange fifth fight. The first round has a few kicks and punches, they closed each other and hit the fence but it didn't look like there was any rhythm to it. There was no rhythm to the next two rounds either but they really went for each other. They were right up in each others faces, very little movement but punch and counter punch, even if it wasn't a traditional counterpunch. Jacobsen dominated in what was a very aggressive fight, if a little lacking in finesse.

Lyaiera

This was a poor fight. Dandois walked out to Let It Go from Frozen and the highlight of the fight was a guy in the crowd yelling out, "LET HER GO!" When they started to grapple.

The Ostovich Lee fight is a strange one. Lee dominates, but doesn't seem to do enough to the KO/Submission... ...

Evinger put some beating on Kianzad.
