Haha I like the picture of the woman kicking the other woman in the boob.

What went on with the one in the pink mini skirt? she looks like she is saying “I Told you I was going to punch you in the face, what did you expect?”

Regarding the pink mini skirt (Masako Yoshida) fight-

That was the strangest thing Ive ever seen in a fight. That was stopped because the girl in black (Shinsaki Ozawa) got an uncontrollable runny nose. She got punched a couple times and then this stuff just started pouring out. It wasnt blood and it wasnt snot. The doctors didnt know what to do and it wouldnt stop so they called the fight.

And the best thing about Yuko Yamanaka’s butt kick is that she is a dominatrix by day, fighter by night.

Not anymore

Yamanaka used to be a domanatrix, according to the prefight promo. Whether she’s now a fulltime fighter or… “something else” isn’t certain, but I’ll guess the former since her standup got a hell of a lot better since the last time I saw her.
