Bellator Fighting Championships officially announced that the world’s top-ranked female fighter, Megumi Mega Megu Fujii, will compete at Bellator 22 on June 10th. No opponent has been named as of yet.
Fujii was initially scheduled to compete for Bellator during the promotion’s first season last year, but remained in Japan and fought for Jewels and Shooto. Her participation is part of a 115-pound eight-woman tournament, starting with Bellator 25 on August 12th. Rumoured tournament participants include Fujii, Rosi Sexton and Elena Babydoll Reid.
Fujii (19-0-0) has dominated the lighter weight classes throughout her career. She has competed primarily in her native Japan, but has travelled to Canada and the United States in years past and has yet to taste defeat in 19 career bouts. With 16 wins coming by submission, including notable victories over Lisa Ward, Mika Nagano, Seo Hee Ham and Saori Ishioka, Fujii has been unstoppable throughout her nearly six year career.
