Cris Cyborg earned a fourth-round (technical) knockout win over Marloes Coenen last night (July 13, 2013) in the Invicta Fighting Championship 6 main event at the Ameristar Casino & Hotel in Kansas City, Kan., winning the women's mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion's featherweight championship.
In the strawweight (115 pounds) co-main event, Glaudia Gadelha put a beat down on Ayaka Hamasaki en route to a third-round (technical) knockout finish with the help of an onslaught of strikes. Other main card action included Lauren Taylor outpointing Sarah D'Alelio to earn a unanimous decision victory, while Jessica Penne earned an impressive first-round submission victory over Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc.
