The main event of Invicta FC 42 ended up making history as BJJ purple belt Alesha Zappitella finished off her opponent in the fourth round with a stealthy submission.
The main event was a match for the then-vacant atomweight title between Zappitella and Ashley Cummins. In the fourth round, Cummins put Zappitella in a guillotine, but Zappitella countered with a Von Flue choke, tapping out her opponent and earning the title of Invicta atomweight champion.
Incidentally, Zappitella was also the first Invicta fighter in history to finish a fight with a Von Flue choke.
