Ward vs Yoshida main event of womens MMA show in LA


Lisa Ward has become one of the rising stars in Womens MMA over the last few months. Her record is 7-2 and she's won her last four fights including a win over Misaki Takimoto on the Nov. 29 Smackgirl show in Tokyo. So it's not surprising that she will be in the main event of a womens MMA show called Fatal Femmes Fighting. The show is being presented ny Invincible Fighter on Feb. 17 at the Japan America Theater in Los Angeles. Her opponent will be veteran Japanese fighter Masako Yoshida. Her record is 13-6-5 and most recently lost to Megumi Fujii at the Shooto Battle Mix show on Jan. 26. Apparently the match will be in a cage. Ward is definitely the favourite. Tow other bouts have been announced. Veteran fighter Roxanne Modafferi has been training in Japan for the last year. Her record is 7-3 and this is her return to America. Cassandra Rivers-Blasso is her opponent and she had one loss in 2004.The other announced fight is Brandy Nerney vs Sofie Bagherdal. Both appear to be newcomers. There are more bouts scheduled to be announced with at least one more Japanese fighter to be signed. Check it out at http://www.invinciblefighter.com/
