Kansas City, Mo. – Invicta Fighting Championships today announced the full fight card for Invicta FC 10: Waterson vs. Tiburcio, which will stream live and exclusively on UFC Fight Pass from the Arena Theatre in Houston on Friday, Dec. 5.
In the night’s headline bout, Invicta FC atomweight champion Michelle Waterson (12-3) will face Brazilian challenger Herica Tiburcio (8-2).
