Fuuka & WINDY Tomomi talked about their upcoming matches on the Sept. 15 Smackgirl show at Korakuen Hall. Fuuka will fight Mai and Tomomi will fight Seri.
This will be Fuuka's first Smackgirl appearance since Nov. 2005. Of course she is normally a wrestler for JD Star. Fuuka says she is very nervous about the match and isn't sleeping very well. She decided to return to Smackgirl in the Spring once the opponent was determined. She wants to have fun with the match and attract the MMA fans to JD Star. She says she is very proud of winning the POP title in June and it keeps her very busy. Fuuka believes she has improved since first appearing in Smackgirl in 2004 and has been training very hard and wants to put on a good show.
WINDY Tomomi's upcoming match will be her first Smackgirl appearance since her tough loss to Yuka Tsuji. She is looking forward to her match with Seri and feels Seri is an up and comer with a lot of talent. WINDY thought of retirement after losing to Tsuji but the big win on the Aug. 4 DEEP show by her pal Hisae Watanabe convinced her to stay. Both women have a kickboxing background and train together regularly. She says Hisae has been encouraging her. It appears that WINDY's loss to Tsuji humbled her but Watanabe's success has convinced her that she can do the same thing. WINDY Tomomi is a very good fighter already and renewed enthusiasm after defeat could make her better. All bouts are scheduled for two five minute rounds. Here's the card to date.
