Smackgirl has announced that the main event for their June 30 Korakuen Hall show is a Winner Take All match between Yuka Tsuji & WINDY Tomomi. Not only is this likely to be the biggest womens MMA match this year but it may be the most important match in Smackgirl history because of the attention it's going to get. It will be a standard MMA rules match for three five minute rounds with the stipulation that the winner of the match gets all the prize money.
Yuka Tsuji is the current Smackgirl Lightweight Champion and is also the number one ranked fighter today. She is 12-0 and has defeated Hisae Watanabe, Erica Montoya and she also defeated Tomomi four years ago. Like her pal Hisae Watanabe, WINDY Tomomi is a kickboxer and the current IKMF Oriental Womens Bantamweight Champion. She has been training at Pancrase and has improved tremendously in the last couple of years. She is on a five match winning streak and called out Tsuji at her last match as she wants revenge for her loss four years ago. It should be a great match but if Tsuji wins it will cement her status as the number one female MMA fighter in the world today. Here's the card to date. All matches are scheduled for two five minute rounds unless noted otherwise.
