Invicta Fighting Championships, the world's best known, all-female mixed martial arts promotion, announced they have been acquired by Anthem Sports and Entertainment. This means they'll be parting ways with UFC Fight Pass, who has streamed their events online since 2014, and moving to Anthem-owned AXS TV and The Fight Network.

Invicta 44, scheduled for May 21, will be their first ever show broadcast on national television with atomweight champion Alesha Zappitella set to defend her title against Jessica Delboni. Invicta has been a launching pad for many of the sports' most prominent female fighters, including UFC champion Amanda Nunes and Bellator titlist Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino.
