| V Hajime |
At Sunday's VALKYRIE show, VALKYRIE Featherweight Champ V Hajime announced two title matches for the Nov. 28 Differ Ariake show. This has now been posted on the VALKYRIE blog along with the accompanying pic of V Hajime announcing her first title defense. It's funny that they announced it so soon as they waited until the last minute to announce last Sunday's show. The challenger will be Kyoko Takabayashi who won this title shot earlier this year. V Hajime trains at MAX Jiu Jitsu. Her record is 6-2 and she won the title with a win over Yuka Tsuji on the Feb. 10 VALKYRIE show. BTW, Tsuji is currently recovering from reconstructive shoulder suregery and knee surgery and will return in 2011. Takabayashi trains at ALIVE. Her record is 11-4 and she won this title shot with a win over Emi Fujino at the Apr. 11 VALKYRIE show. Fans may recall that V Hajime won over Takabayashi on the July 12, 2009 CAGE Force show as part of the tournament to determine a challenger for Yuka Tsuji. V Hajime has been doing some Shoot Boxing. We'll see if that helps her against Takabayashi. Of course the other title match will have Rin Nakai vs Mizuho Sato for the first VALKYRIE Open Weight Championship. They won their matches on Sunday's show. Rin is 8-0 and Mizuho is 6-4. But Rin won over Mizuho on the Feb. 10 VALKYRIE show. Of course Mizuho will be looking for redemption but may have trouble finding that against Rin Nakai. She has proven to be very tough. Hopefully more matches will be announce in the near future.
