Megumi Fujii wins the Women's Flyweight title!
Absolutely amazing fight. These two went back and forth BEAUTIFULLY, with JJ sending out epic stand-up, Megumi getting back into the mix with takedown-submission mastery. Both did very good damage, output-wise, but both are also tough as hell, and were able to absorb the damage of the other. I’m not sure if flash submissions work the same way as flash Kos (like, if your sub D is low if you are more prone to being Subbed before you have 0 health, but JJ had lots of health left here. One person you don’t want to endure 18 submissions from, though, is Megumi fricken Fujii.
In other notez, I love JJ, and expect she’ll get back to the top in pretty quick fashion, but it’s nice to see The Legend, Megumi Fujii finally win her first ManMMA title. Congrats to the Megume.
