Ever since pro wrestler Mai Ichii won a recent MMA match over Satoko Shinashi, it has been rumoured that she plans to leave pro wrestling and become a full time MMA fighter. Her current record is 1-2. Ichii recently confirmed those rumours to Lady's Ring magazine. She has been training at the White Dragon dojo with her sensei Kaneda. Apparently the two have known each other since they were children and he's been after her for a while to switch from pro wrestling to MMA. Ichii has been a wrestler for five years. She's not the first to attempt the switch and it's not likely she was going to main event any wrestling shows. So if she has the MMA skills, there could be a future for her. Haneda says he's very happy with her training and they are aiming for at least one MMA match by the end of this year. I didn't much care for Mai Ichii's win over Satoko Shinashi as I thought the ref was very lenient with Ichii. But here's the video and you can check it out for yourself.
