Last week, Invicta FC announced a major reinforcement to their team: UFC champ Amanda Nunes . This, of course, wasn’t Nunes’ (15-4 MMA, 8-1 UFC) first contact with the promotion. Years before their recent Invicta FC 26 event , in which the Brazilian fighter stepped into the cage to translate for headlining winner Jennifer Maia, “The Lioness” had a two-fight stint under their banner. From there, she went to the UFC, where she’s won the 135-pound belt and defended it twice. Now, as one of the biggest stars in women’s MMA, Nunes will use her expertise to assist with matchmaking and talent-scouting duties for the all-female promotion. “I love to be the matchmaker for Invicta, from my experience, and I have a lot of good talents in Brazil,” Nunes said
