function not found Following her first successful outing in Invicta last year, current Jewels strawweight champion Ayaka Hamasaki is eager to follow up her success with her return to the promotion at Invicta FC 6 this Saturday night. “I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the venue last time,” Hamasaki told MMAWeekly.com . “I like when the fans are loud so I really feel comfortable fighting for Invicta FC. I am very excited about this Saturday night.” While Hamasaki is coming into the fight undefeated at 9-0, she felt her most recent performance was lacking. Hamasaki defeated Emi Fujino via unanimous decision in December. “(My performance in December) was not good at all,” said Hamasaki. “I injured my neck, so I really couldn’t fully train for that fight. “I shot in carelessly and she caught me few times, and in terms of utilizing (her game), Fujino-san was much better than myself.” Originally Hamasaki was supposed to face Carla Esparza for the Invicta strawweight title this Saturday, but unfortunately Esparza had to drop out of the fight
