| Kyoko Kimura |
PANCRASE announced today that they have added a women's match to their Jan. 28 Differ Ariake show. In a match contracted for 64kg, Kyoko Kimura will face Mizuho Sato. The match is scheduled for two five minute rounds. Kimura is the veteran pro wrestler who made a successful MMA debut with a win over Megumi Yabushita on the Nov. 12 PANCRASE show. She trains at Sakaguchi Family Dojo. Kyoko has said her goal is to face Rin Nakai. If she wins this fight, she should get closer to that goal. Sato is a VALKYRIE veteran. She now trains at BJJ Top. Her record is 6-5. Her last fight was a loss to Rin Nakai on the Nov. 28, 2010 VALKYRIE show in the finals of the VALKYRIE Open Weight Championship tournament. The fight was stopped when Sato suffered a broken orbital bone. This will be her return to MMA. She has lost to Rin Nakai twice but has also lost to Megumi Yabushita and Super Benkei. She has never beaten a top fighter. So I don't know if she is a better test for Kimura than Yabushita. Probably not.
