Invicta FC 33 was last night in Kansas City. The main event was a rematch from July. Jinh Yu Frey defended the Invicta Atomweight Championship against Minna Grusander. The rematch was because many fans and media thought Minna won and the judges went the other way. Invicta is no different than any other company. They won't acknowledge judge ineptitude but that's the only reason there was a rematch. I scored that first fight 49-46 for Minna. This fight was closer because Jinh performed better. I scored it 48-47 for Minna but I have no problem with Jinh winning by split decision. Minna needed to be dominant to win and she wasn't. In the co-main event Danielle Taylor beat Montserrat Ruiz by unanimous decision. As I suggested on my podcast, Invicta is looking to prop up Danielle for a Strawweight title shot because she was in the UFC. Montserrat is an unproven fighter who should not have been this high on the card. Danielle did the same keep away strategy that we saw in the UFC. But Montserrat couldn't keep up with her. It was predictable. They need to stop doing this kind of stuff. In a Strawweight bout, Kay Hansen beat Sharon Jacobson with a last minute armbar. Sharon was going to win by unanimous decision when she tossed Kay across the cage. Kay held on to her arm to get the submission. That was really odd. In an Atomweight bout, Alesha Zappitella beat Amber Brown by unanimous decision. Amber was the gatekeeper and Alesha passed the test. She could get the next Atomweight title shot. In a Flyweight bout, Brianna Van Buren beat Jamie Moyle by unanimous decision. This was supposed to be at Strawweight but Jamie missed weight by nine pounds. Then she looked terrible in the cage. In a Bantamweight bout, Brittney Victoria beat Sarah Kleczka by unanimous decision. In an Atomweight bout, Anastasia Nikolakakos dominated Ashley Medina and won by second round TKO. And in a Flyweight bout, Chantel Coates beat Ashlynn Kleinbeck by KO in 28 seconds. Apparently this was the quickest finish in Invicta history.
