The decision to strip Barb Honchak of the Invicta flyweight title wasn’t a bad one. How the promotion decided to go about it, on the other hand, was pretty poor.
The Miletich Fighting Systems’ talent - and now former Invicta champion - hasn’t stepped into a cage since defeating Takayo Hashi back in November of 2014. She’s just about pushing two years on the sidelines, without any immediate plans for a potential return to fighting. For a small promotion like Invicta that really depends on having active champions, there’s no sense in letting one of their belts sit on the sidelines collecting dust.
