Smackgirl had a very unusual show on July 23 at the Gold's Gym South Tokyo Annex. They had a couple of semi final matches for the 2006 Next Cinderella tournaments. But the bulk of the show was a one day tournament called the Smackgirl Grappling Queen Tournament 2006. So the matches were all grappling rules. There were Middleweight, Flyweight, Lightweight & Open Weight divisions. But they didn't announce most of the participants until a couple of days before the show and the brackets were announced the day of the show.
The big name on this show was Sambo Queen Megumi Fujii participating in the Lightweight tournament. To illustrate that she doesn't get paid by the hour, Fujii took a total of fifty seconds to dispose of her opponents and win the Lightweight Grappling tournament. In her first match, Fujii defeated Akiko Naito with a guillotine choke in 30 seconds and in the final she used an ankle lock to finish off Emi Tomimatsu in 20 seconds. Why waste time? Megumi Fujii is a force to be reckoned with and it isn't going to be easy to find competition for her short of Yuka Tsuji.
In the other tournaments, Takayo Hashi won the Open Weight tournament but lost in the Middleweight finals to her arch rival Hitomi Akano. Eri Kaneya won the Flyweight tournament. In the Next Cinderella semi final matches, KM-MAKI won her Flyweight semi final over Mitsuki and Kanako Takeshita won her Middleweight semi final over Kazuna Moroboshi. Here's the results of the show. The grappling matches were schduled for one seven minute round and the Next Cinderella Tournament matches were scheduled for two five minute rounds.
