The flyweight standout made a huge statement on in the co-main event of Invicta FC 43 in Kansas City, Kansas. Geltmacher (5-1 MMA) knocked out Caitlin Sammons with a vicious right hand.

The finish came at the 4:28 mark of round one.

That was the Oklahoma City-based competitor’s second career win via finish, and she shook off her first career loss in the process.
