Hyatt was already scheduled to appear on the card against Joanne Calderwood but will now step up to the main event.
Invicta FC 4 is scheduled to take place on January 5, 2013 at the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas. The event marks the first pay-per-view show for the young promotion which put on three shows for free in 2012.
Hyatt has won four straight bouts, having earned a fist round TKO finish last October in just 37-seconds at a Nitro MMA event in Australia. Her other wins include a majority decision win and two submission victories. The January show marks her Invicta FC debut.
Esparza has won three in a row herself, picking up TKO finishes in both of her Invicta FC appearances. She finished opponent Lynn Alvarez in the first round at the Invicta FC 3 event and a second round stoppage of Sarah Schneider at the promotions second show in July.
