Womens match added to June 26 SHOOTO show


Fans may recall that SHOOTO once owned a womens MMA promotion called G-SHOOTO. The promotion closed at the end of 2006 but SHOOTO has occasionally added women to their usual shows. SHOOTO announced yesterday that they have added a womens match to their June 26 Kitazawa Town Hall show for the first time in 2008. It will be a Strawweight bout between Yasuko Tamada & Kayo Nagayasu. I think Strawweight is between Flyweight & Lightweight. I think it's only in SHOOTO but I could be wrong. They're both veterans. Tamada is 6-4-2 and is on a four bout winning streak. She most recently won over Maho Muranami on the Dec. 26 Smackgirl show. She trains at AACC. Nagayasu is 7-5-1 and most recently lost to Sachiko Yamamoto on the Feb. 24 DEEP show. She trains at Paraestra. The two have fought twice previously. Tamada has a win and there was a draw.





Meanwhile, it seems DEEP has been having some difficulty finding an opponent for DEEP Lightweight Champ MIKU for their June 1 Toyama show. So they've decided to put her in a kick rules match against 16 year old shot boxing super rookie Lena. I guess it's sort of an exhibition match. MIKU does have some experience at kickboxing and Lena has been working at the J-GIRLS kickboxing company. Apparently she is the daughter of former Japanese Super Featherweight Champ Shihiroshi Oikawa and she's been training at J-GIRLS in secret. I guess it's not a secret anymore.
