Formation
After Zuffa, parent company of the UFC, purchased rival promotion Strikeforce in March 2011, Shannon Knapp received several calls from female fighters concerned about a possible lack of representation for women's MMA. Knapp would meet with Janet Martin and the two acquired the financial resources needed to launch a new MMA promotion.{{cite web | access-date = 2012-06-15 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120429010038/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/loretta_hunt/04/27/invicta/index.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = April 29, 2012 | access-date = 2012-06-15
