Still under UFC contract, Jessamyn Duke heads back to Invicta to gain cage experience

Jessamyn Duke might be competing for Invicta this weekend. But she's still a UFC fighter.

Not wanting to wait any longer for a fight booking, Duke called UFC president Dana White and told him she wanted to head back to Invicta FC for experience and more frequent bouts.

"I finally went to Dana," Duke explained, "and I was like, 'I want to fight for Invicta. Let me go fight for them. Let me get a fight. You know better than anyone -- you were there watching the fight -- that what I need more than anything is time in the ring.
