Japan has seen some of the strangest matches to date. Among them was certainly the match with Gabi Garcia and a much older woman, a former pro wrestler.
But it appears that the Japanese promotion outdid Rizin’s strange match by featuring 12 year old girl against 24 year old woman at Deep Jewel 16.
Yamasaki (2-3 Am) is coming off two losses and is hoping to get back in the win column by taking out her 12-year-old opponent who is currently a seventh grader.
And it kind of hard to take this seriously.
The 24-year-old is a former street-fighter who was bullied in junior high school. According to the press release from DEEP JEWELS, the experience is said to have triggered her to became a delinquent which lead to series of “tale of triumphs on the street.”
It’s unclear how is this even legal.
But at least amateur rules for Deep Jewels don’t allow striking to the head on the ground and both fighters will be wearing head gear.
DEEP JEWELS 16 takes place on May 20th. The event will be streamed live on the DEEP JEWELS website. Also expected to be on the card is top-three ranked lightweight contender, King Reina.
