Mogi, Tamada win at June 26 Shooto show


There were two women's matches on the June 26 Shooto show at the Kitazawa Town Hall. They were at the bottom the card so it was difficult finding details but I have found them at the Shooto website. The second match was a Flyweight bout Yasuko Mogi and Ayumi Takeuchi making her MMA debut. Mogi lands a right hook and goes for a single leg takedown. Takeuchi tries to block it but Mogi is persistent and the takedown is successful. Mogi neutralizes Takeuchi's upper body and mounts her from behind. She continues to work on Takeuchi and hooks a sleeper for the win at 2:45 of round one. Mogi is now 4-3 and Takeuchi is 0-1.








The other match was a Strawweight bout between Yasuko Tamada and Kayo Nagayasu. They exchange punches and Tamada pushes Nagayasu into the corner and attempts a single leg takedown. Nagayasu blocks it but then Tamada goes after her upper body. Nagayasu also blocks that. Tamada next attempts a triangle hold but Nagayasu blocks that. So though Nagaysu was on defense for the whole round, Tamada was unsuccessful in breaking her down. Nagayasu attempts a takedown at the start of round two but Tamada uses her reach to land a punch. Tamada finally gets a takedown and goes after Nagayasu's knee. She goes after the upper body. Tamada is unable to get much further but she did enough to win by a 2-0 majority decision with one judge scoring it a draw. Tamada's record is now 7-4-2 and Nagayasu is 7-6-1.
