RUMOR: Stephanie Eggink Seeking Move to Invicta FC?

In a recent interview found on PunchDrunkGamer.com, XFC Strawweight Championship holder, Stephanie Eggink has revealed she maybe looking for a brighter future and better competition with Invicta FC.

PDG: “Congrats on winning the XFC Strawweight title. What was the experience like, becoming the XFC Champion?”

Stephanie Eggink: “Well, I have only had five fights. So, fighting for a title without very many fights was definitely unexpected and a little intimidating. But I felt more confident going into that fight than any other fight I ever had. Even when I watched the video of myself fight, I could see how comfortable I looked. I just looked really, really calm. I was definitely really well prepared for that fight. I have already beaten everyone in the division. I don’t know who else he (John Prisco) is going to have to bring in. Maybe some new blood. Unless he is planning on having me fight rematches. Unless there is someone I don’t know about or someone taking some time off. I just don’t know anyone at 115lbs that I’ll be fighting. So I think he is probably going to have to bring in new people or have me do a rematch, which I really wouldn’t like at this point in my career. I don’t have many fights and I don’t want to fight people I have already fought. I would much rather fight new people. So we’ll see. A lot of the girls I want to fight are in Invicta FC, unfortunately. So we’ll see what happens there.”

After being asked about moving up a weight class if there was a fight she’d be interested in and if Invicta would be the next place she would want to go, Stephanie had this to say:

“If I was to leave XFC, Invicta would definitely be where I would look because of the amount of girls that they have. I wouldn’t worry about who my next opponent is because they have such a huge list of fighters. They have all the females right now. And about going up a weight class I wouldn’t mind that but I want to be in the top five at 115lbs. So fighting at 125lbs might give me a payday but it’s not going to do anything for my ranking. So I would prefer to stick to 115lbs to get me a higher ranking. But if there is no other option in XFC, I definitely wouldn’t mind taking the 125lb belt which they are opening up next month.”
