fighters in the world are women, then you better wake up, and here is
a very pleasant wake up call for you with the first women only MMA cage
event in the U.S. Included in the card are two title fights including
two fighters who live and train in Japan. The very hot american fighter,
Lisa Ward will be testing her skills against a tough Japanese fighter
named Masako Yoshida.
The other title bout will be between Tokyo based Roxanne Modafferi against an extremely skilled grappler named Cassandra Rivers-Blaso, who defeated Laura D'Auguste in the ADCC North American trials. This promises to be an extremely technical grappling match, as Modafferi is also a great jiu Jitsu practitioner.
