Katja Kankaanpaa Invicta FC strawweight champion Katja Kankaanpaa will defend her title in April when the promotion returns to Kansas City. Kankaanpaa (10-1-1) will defend her 115-pound title for the first time when she meets the unbeaten Livia Renata Souza (7-0) in the Invicta FC 12 main event. Invicta officials announced the card and booking after an initial report from ESPN.com . Invicta FC 12 will take place April 24 at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., which also played host to Invicta FC 8 this past September. The event will stream live in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass. Kankaanpaa, from Finland, got her shot at Invicta’s strawweight title after the UFC purchased the contract of the bulk of the promotion’s 115-pounders to compete on Season 20 of “The Ultimate Fighter” and build its inaugural roster in the weight class.
