DEEP held a press conference today with the intention of announcing the opponent for DEEP Women's Flyweight Champ Satoko Shinashi on DEEP 40 Feb. 20 at Korakuen Hall. But Shinashi wasn't at the press conference and DEEP matchmaker Shigeru Saeki announced that Shinashi is four months pregnant. Shinashi has been married since Nov. 2007. Saeki said that she is scheduled to give birth in July and is tentatively scheduled to return to MMA in December after maternity leave. Saeki also said that the title will be inactive until Shinashi returns. He emphasized that Shinashi is not retiring but he also doesn't think there are any suitable fighters worthy to be Flyweight champ. They have been having problems finding opponents for her. Congratulations to Satoko Shinashi and we all hope for a happy and healthy baby.
