Catherine Costigan begins her MMA world title journey in Vegas this week

The undefeated Limerick star is in action at Invicta FC 13.

โ€“ Paul Dollery reports from Las Vegas

AFTER A LAY-OFF of almost a year, one of Irelandโ€™s top female mixed martial arts stars will be back in action tomorrow night.

Limerickโ€™s Catherine Costigan returns to the cage for her Invicta Fighting Championships debut against American opponent Amber Brown in Las Vegas.

Competing in Vegas is a dream come true for the undefeated fighter, whoโ€™s aiming to earn an opportunity to fight for the Invicta atomweight belt before the year is out.

โ€œOf course I want that world title,โ€ Costigan told The42 yesterday in Vegas. โ€œI want to at least be getting the shot at the end of the year if I can.โ€

    Bayern are a seriously good outfit, no obvious weaknesses in any positions,, they will take some beating and on tonightโ€™s performance they could easily be crowned champions this year. Chelsea have gone backwards over the last few months, some serious investment needed in every department of the squad, they are a million miles away from competing with the best in the premier league and Europe.

    @devils avacado: absolutly. Iโ€™d have them favourites and hope Liverpool donโ€™t have to face them in the next round should they get through

    @devils avacado: Mount got behind a few times, defence was caught flat footed at times. Iโ€™d say it will be a weakness against better opposition

    @Seamus Donnelly: we havenโ€™t made mince meat of a defense since last year. What Liverpool has done is amazing but come champions league yo have to up it.

    Donโ€™t watch chelsea much but tonight I either thought theyโ€™d play unreal and win 1-0 or 2-1 or just get smacked up 0-3. Really like lampard though, has got balls
