Will Hisae Watanabe return to MMA?

Hisae Watanabe

SHOOT BOXING announced on their website today that 2009 Girls S-Cup champ RENA, VALKYRIE Featherweight Champ V1 and former DEEP Women's Lightweight Champ Hisae Watanabe will all appear on the SHOOT BOXING 25th Anniversary Series show June 6 at Korakuen Hall. They haven't announced matches yet but since Watanabe vs RENA didn't happen last month, I assume they will do that. Apparently RENA is recovered from her broken finger. For me, the big question is will Hisae Watanabe return to MMA? I'm not saying she won't do MMA but she doesn't need to and may want to stick to kickboxing and similar things like SHOOT BOXING because she's mainly a kickboxer anyway and is a proven star regardless. When Watanabe's scheduled return was delayed by a broken foot suffered during training, JEWELS matchmaker Shigeru Saeki told the media that he expected her to appear in JEWELS at their year end show. When that didn't happen and then Watanabe decided to do SHOOT BOXING, it raises doubts that she wants to do MMA. I believe that the longer she does other things and delays her MMA return, it's less likely that she'll do MMA at all.
