JEWELS announced on their blog that they have added one more match to the Dec. 11 Shinjuku FACE show. In a 53.5kg match, Mari Kaneko (pictured) will return to MMA after a four year absence to face Rina Tomita. Kaneko's record is 8-8-1. She lost to Yoko Takahashi in her pro debut in Nov. 2000. She has a 1-1 record against Hisae Watanabe and has also lost to Yuka Tsuji and WINDY Tomomi. Her last fight was a loss to Satoko Shinashi on the July 8, 2005 DEEP show. That was a rematch after the two fought to a draw on the Feb. 12, 2005 DEEP show. Kaneko recently returned to training at the Anan branch of Zendokai. And after an appearance on Zendokai's recent grappling tournament, she has decided to return to the pro ranks. Tomita trains at AACC. Her record is 2-2 and both losses were to Mika Nagano, most recently at the Sept. 13 JEWELS show.
