Invicta will start 2015 in sunny California.
MMAFighting.com broke the news Monday night the promotion will hold it’s 11th card on February 27th in Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium, a night before Ronda Rousey versus Cat Zingano at the Staples Center in L.A.
The main event will see Cyborg Justino defend her featherweight title against Charmaine Tweet.
Justino will return after a year and a half absence as she was trying to drop to bantamweight and fighting Muay Thai. Her last Invicta match saw her defeat Marloes Coenen for the second time.
Tweet has won back to back fights, including her Invicta debut over Veronica Rothenhausler by first round TKO.
The rest of the card is expected to be announced Tuesday.

Dana / Shannon are going to have their handz full (as would give a Rocky vs Hogan or Mr. T or recent Jones – cornier feel ) all wknd to include weighins.
The pic with Cat n Cyborg would be interesting if Cat invites Cyborg as guest during weigh ins for a mind game. Cyborg vs Tweet be a great 1-2 riund burner as both have faced Julia Budd using those outcomes as a measuring stick.
Felicia Spencer the recent tuff n enuf – invicta fc would be a great challenge for tweet after cyborg.
great options for women from 105 to 155 now. Please cut weight safely as saw one is trying to cut from 165 to 135.
