Yesterday MMA Japan attended DEEP Jewels 15, live. It was a sold out crowd and the fighters brought their A games to the ring. DEEP puts on two types of MMA events. The first is simply known as DEEP; it features some of the strongest fighters in Japan and also has guest fighters from abroad.
The second is called DEEP Jewels. Like its counterpart, Invicta, DEEP Jewels is an all female fighter promotion. Some of the fighters also participate in local Pro-Wrestling events. Their skills are sharp and impressive – a full skill set – Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, boxing, karate, and judo. Each fighter brings a skill set and puts it up against another style. This leads to some fantastic bouts.
DEEP Jewels 15 was a great event featuring 7 fights. The best fight of the evening was arguably the third on the card. King Reina Miura (2-0-0) vs. Shayna Baszler (15-11-0)
