Well, you can't say I didn't warn you. Smackgirl held their big Nov. 29 Korakuen Hall show and the incomparable Sambo Queen, Megumi Fujii, took care of her Aussie kickboxer opponent in record time. I guess she doesn't get paid by the hour. The most important thing on this show is there were two matches under full MMA rules. Fujii is a major reason that Smackgirl is headed in that direction. She has told Smackgirl they have to change if they want to be taken seriously around the world. Naoko Ohmuro & Lisa Ward also won their matches.
Australian kickboxer Serin Murray had some pretty strong words for Megumi Fujii the other day. Murray said she'd punch her face in. But Fujii wasted no time in getting her on the ground and applying an ankle lock (pictured). It was all over in 20 seconds. She now has an 8-0 record. Fujii said afterwards that she took one punch from Murray and then took her to the ground and was happy to win decisively. Fujii also challenged Yuka Tsuji for the Smackgirl Lightweight Championship. That match would be the match of the decade. It must happen. Smackgirl says they will try to do it early next year. Fujii says she wants to be champ by the time her AACC team makes their annual trip to Abu Dhabi next year.
The semi main was another full MMA rules match between Masako Yoshida & Naoko Ohmuro. They fought to a draw two years ago. Ohmuro took control in round two and really pounded Yoshida in round three. Ohmuro won by unanimous decision. US fighter Lisa Ward returned to Smackgirl against Misaki Takimoto. Ward controlled round one and then won with an armbar at 3:32 of round two. Smackgirl said that Naoko Ohmuro would get the first shot at the Flyweight Title but Lisa Ward would be right after her.
A couple of pro wrestlers were on the show. Mai Ichii lost a unanimous decision to Emi Fujino and Yuiga won over Mika by KO at 4:02 of round two. Ichii got a bloody nose for her trouble. Berry 15 also had her retirement ceremony. Here's the results of the show. All matches were scheduled for two five minute rounds unless noted otherwise.
