Why does Invicta have so many missed weights every event? Is that normal for smaller promotions where more fighters are semi-pro so to speak?
No.

Is it a female issue then? Or even then is Invicta just particularly lax about it?
Yes, Bellator is like that too. UFC fighters are, without a doubt, years ahead other fighters in terms of being professional about weight.Why does Invicta have so many missed weights every event? Is that normal for smaller promotions where more fighters are semi-pro so to speak?

A problem for Aga could be cardio if this fight goes to the championship rounds. No one seems to remember this but she had major cardio problems her last fight and I think that fight was 3 rounds.Psyched for the Invicta title fight Friday. This week I watched some Aga N. fights & enjoy her tactical style. I find it electrifying. Can she take the flyweight belt from Jennifer Maia? We'll soon find out. It's free & live on fight pass. Love Invicta cards: the commentary, the fighters, Shannon Knapp et. al.
I find* it comforting to be real, im happy for her.How funny is it that all those people miss weight and none of them are Dern.
I find it funny this happen after Amber got into a twitter argument with Celina Haga about fighting at 110lbs. Amber stated that 105 is her weight and she would need more compensation to fight at 110. Fast forward a month or two and she misses weight.I'm glad that Dern got her shit together and managed to make weight.
I'm very disappointed that Brown did not, especially as I chose to use her image as an avatar for this event and if she wins now that win is sort of soiled.

Yeah I don't like the excuses made either, Montano clearly beat the best of the field and the favourites to claim the belt, whether her actual record shows that or not, her TUF record certainly shows the competition she had to face in order to advance to finals. She beat seeds 1, 2, 3 and 6.
