On the JEWELS blog, Megumi Fujii commented on her win over WINDY Tomomi on Monday's Shooto show. Apparently fans have been wondering why she was in Shooto instead of the Dec. 11 JEWELS show. Fujii said she had not planned to fight until 2010 but the offer to fight WINDY came up at the last minute. She says she has respected WINDY for many years and has wanted to fight her for a long time. She said she wasn't in top shape and had little time to prepare but took the fight anyway. And she was very happy to do so. Geez, what do you think she'd be like if she was in shape. As I have said before, I believe there is still tension between Fujii and JEWELS matchmaker Shigeru Saeki over some of the silly rules like the limited ground and pound. Taking a fight in Shooto that could have been in JEWELS sends a very clear message to Saeki. I will echo that message. Saeki, stop screwing around and standardize the rules. Thank you.
