Natasha Wicks to be Invicta ring card girl

New MMA promotions pop up daily, but Invicta Fighting Championships is different. Led by former Strikeforce matchmaker and talent relations manager Shannon Knapp, Invicta FC is an all-female MMA promotion.

Several critical issues were immediately raised. Is this going to save WMMA? Is Invicta going to go head to head with Strikeforce’s female division? Does WMMA have the depth to have two world-class promotions?

And, does this mean they are going to have ring card guys?

The final question has now be answered, via the Twitter account of Natasha Wicks, winner of the 2009 Maxim UFC Octagon Girl Search.
