Rose Namajunas Returns Against Tecia Torres at Invicta FC 6 in July

ByIan Shutts

Attention, fans of flying armbars and blood-drinking: CagePotato sponsored fighter Rose Namajunas has been officially booked to return at Invicta FC 6: Cyborg vs. Coenen II, July 13th at the Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. Her opponent will be Tecia “Tiny Tornado” Torres, an American Top Team-bred strawweight who most recently won a lopsided decision against Paige VanZant at Invicta FC 4 in January.

While both women hold pro records of 2-0, Torres can claim to be slightly more experienced, as she went 7-0 as an amateur compared to Rose’s 4-0 amateur record. Before her MMA career, Torres also competed extensively as an amateur kickboxer. Even at age 6, she was pretty nasty.

It’s a solid step up in competition for Rose — and we have total faith that Thug will be able to give the Tiny Tornado all she can handle. Stay tuned for more coverage on Rose Namajunas and Invicta FC 6, and check out the complete fight lineup after the jump…
