Smackgirl announces Open Weight tournament matches


Smackgirl has announced the semi final matches for the Super Gals Mix Cup Open Weight Tournament. These matches will be on the Mar. 11 Shinjuku FACE show and the final will be on May 19. The winner gets a shot at Amanda Buckner's Smackgirl Open Weight Championship. One match will have Smackgirl veteran Tama Chan (pictured in polka dots) against Michiko Takeda. Tama Chan's record is 12-5 and her last fight was a win over Mamiko on the Nov. 19 G-Shooto show. Next week she will be in Costa Rica for the Bodog Fight tapings. Takeda is 1-0. She won over pro wrestler Atsuko Emoto on August's Wrestle Expo show. The other match will have Yuiga vs HIROKO. Yuiga is a pro wrestler who works for Nightmare Pro Wrestling. Her MMA record is 3-3. Her last fight was a KO win MIKA on the Nov. 29 Smackgirl show. HIROKO's one fight was a win over Rie Murakami on that same Smackgirl show. A Flyweight Title match between Satoko Shinashi & Misaki Takimoto has already been announced. Tama Chan looks like the favourite in this tournament but I wouldn't normally describe her as a serious title contender.
