Yeah I know I am slow doing this but Invicta FC 6: Coenen vs. Cyborg has already come and gone and now Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino is the first Invicta FC featherweight champion.
I imagine there was strict drug testing so yes, The Cyborg did indeed defeat Marloes Coenen, the #1-ranked 145-pound female fighter according to the WMMA Rankings.
And she did it drug free.
But even thought that was the main event, which was far from all that happened that night...
Claudia Gadelha defeated Ayaka Hamasaki
Lauren Taylor defeated Sarah D'Alelio
Leslie Smith defeated Jennifer Maia
Jessica Penne defeated Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc
Joanne Calderwood defeated Norma Rueda Center
Mizuki Inoue defeated Bec Hyatt
Miriam Nakamoto defeated Duda Yankovich
Tecia Torres defeated Rose Namajunas
Emily Kagan defeated Ashley Cummins
Livia von Plettenberg defeated Kathina Catron
Happy that Jessica Penne won but sad that Duda Yankovich lost.
Well I'm sad that Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc lost too but she was fighting Jessica and unless they had a draw, somebody had to lose!
Fight of the Night went to Leslie Smith vs Jennifer Maia
Knockout of the Night went to Miriam Nakamoto who took Duda out via TKO with knees and punches in 2:08 of the first round.
Submission of the Night went to Jessica Penne who submitted Nicdali with a RNC at 4:57 of the first round.

Female MMA: Tom Hill Photos
Jessica Aguilar by http://www.tomhillphotos.com/This entry is a little different.
I was contacted by Tom Hill who runs TomHillPhotos.com, and he sent me a link to his website.
There are a LOT of really good MMA photos there, and a lot of good female MMA pictures there as well.
Tom has a pretty impressive list of credits which include:
American Top Team house photographer
Official photographer for the 2009 World Grappling Championships sponsored by USA Grappling Team, TapouT, Champion Nutrition, Dollamur, Asics and Century
NAGA Championships
Unconquered Martial Arts
Strikeforce
G-Force
Hard Rock – Fight League
It just so happens that one of his subjects, and friends, is WAMMA ranked female MMA artist Jessica Aguilar.
The pictures that he sent me that I am putting up are from the March 5th, Hard Rock fight night event, Rumble at The Rock II where Jessica took on Valerie Coolbaugh.
Jessica won in the second round via submission.



And no, Tom is NOT paying me to put this up...LOL
Like I said, he contacted me and when I saw his work, I thought some of you out there might really like it.
I know we have some promoters out there that read this blog as well, and if you haven't used Tom, you might wanna think about it.
So got take a look at this talented photographers work at his website here:

And thanks to Tom for letting me share his work with everyone.
