| Rin Nakai punches Megumi Yabushita |
VALKYRIE announced today that the Sept. 26 Differ Ariake show will feature the first VALKYRIE Open Weight Tournament. The semi finals will be on this show and then the final will be on the Nocember show. All fights are scheduled for three three minute rounds and the show will run before the CAGE FORCE show. The first toutnament match will have Rin Nakai vs Super Benkei. Nakai trains at Shooto in Shikoku. Her record is 7-0 and her last win was over Megumi Yabushita on the June 19 VALKYRIE show. Super Benkei trains at Gamurannac. Her record is 5-6 and her last fight was a win over Esui on the July 31 JEWELS show. The second fight is Mizuho Sato vs Michiko Takeda. Sato trains at WK Tokyo. Her record is 5-4 and her last fight was a loss to Rin Nakai on the Feb. 10 VALKYRIE show. Takeda trains at the Hiroshima branch of Zendokai. Her record is 4-3-1 and her last fight was a loss to HIROKO on the Feb. 4, 2009 JEWELS show. She normally fights at 170 so she much heavier than the other fighters. But I doubt that Rin Nakai will have much trouble with any of them. In a match contracted for 62kg, Iris will face HARI. Iris trains at RJW/WK. Her record is 2-0 and her last win was over Mutsumi Kasai on the June 19 VALKYRIE show. HARI trains at the Hiroshima branch of Zandokai. Her record is 6-20-1 and her last fight was a loss to Shizuka Sugiyama on the July 11, 2009 JEWELS show. There will also be a grappling match between Betikio and Yurie Kamata. I expect more to be announced shortly.
