Fujii & Akano on July 30 Smackgirl show

With the Winner Take All main event between Yuka Tsuji & WINDY Tomomi on the card, Smackgirl's June 30 show at Korakuen Hall is already a very big show. Now it's even bigger with the addition of Megumi Fujii & Hitomi Akano.




Megumi Fujii is a world famous martial artist known as The Sambo Queen. This will be her first appearance in Smackgirl in almost two years and that was her only previous appearance. She just returned from a successful appearance on an MMA show in Los Angeles. She is highly respected so this is a big deal for Smackgirl. In keeping with the theme of the show, Fujii has decided to have a Winner Take All match with Smackgirl veteran Tama Chan. Tama Chan is in big trouble.




Fujii is bringing training partner and up and coming fighter Hitomi Akano with her. Akano lost a tough decision to Tara LaRosa on the June 3 MFC show in Atlantic City. So she's looking to bounce back. Her opponent is Emma Bush. Emma works for Charlie's Combat Club in Everett, WA and is probably better known under her maiden name Emma Nielsen. She appeared in Smackgirl last year and lost to Youko Takahashi. One other match has been added as well. Here's the card so far. All matches are scheduled for two five minute rounds unless otherwise noted.
