Early career
Van Duin made her professional mixed martial arts debut in April 2013. She fought primarily in her native New Zealand and Australia, amassing a record of 4–1 before joining Invicta Fighting Championships.[1]
Invicta Fighting Championships
Van Duin was expected to make her promotional debut on December 5, 2014 at Invicta FC 10: Waterson vs. Tiburcio against Charmaine Tweet. However, the bout was scrapped on December 3 after Tweet was medically disqualified from competing on the card.[1]
Van Duin eventually made her debut for the promotion on April 24, 2015 at Invicta FC 12: Kankaanpää vs. Souza when she faced Amanda Bell.[1] Van Duin won the fight via submission due to a rear-naked choke in the second round. The win also earned Van Duin her first Performance of the Night bonus award.[2]
Van Duin faced Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino for the Invicta FC Featherweight Championship on July 9, 2015 at Invicta FC 13: Cyborg vs. Van Duin.[3]
