Women’s MMA pioneer Roxanne “The Happy Warrior” Modafferi recently interviewed 16-0 female Japanese fighter Rin Nakai for MMASucka.com. Nakai fights Miesha Tate at UFC Fight Night 52: Hunt vs. Nelson on Saturday on Saturday, September 20, live on UFC Fight Pass from Saitama, Japan.

Nakai was asked about the videos that Modafferi delicately described as “revealing, creative and unique, to say the least.”

They aren’t really scripted, said Nakai. Pancrase had asked for something once a week for promotion, so I had to figure something out.

Modafferi learns that Nakai, 27, has been in combat sports nearly her entire life, starting with Judo at age 3. Nakai chose gymnastics over Judo in middle school, but her parents chose otherwise, and Nakai ended up with a bronze medal at Judo nationals.

At 19 she joined retired fighter Kancho Usami’s Shooto Gym Shikoku, and has trained there since.

After five fights, she disappeared for two years, and returned with 15 heavily muscled pounds. Nakai related two years of heavy eating and lifting.

My coach Kancho Usami instructed me to, she explained.

Although just 5′ 1″ has remained undefeated in both the bantamweight and open divisions, winning the Queen of Pancrase title. Career wins include Tara LaRosa and Sarah D’Alelio. Now Saturday she fights Tate in what she described as “the biggest challenge of my life!

Nakai described Tate just as a lot of fans would.

She’s beautiful and sexy, said Rin.

A win over Tate would leave Nakai near the top of the WMMA world, but after spending 24 of 27 years in combat sports, she thinks outside of it as well.

After this, my goals are just to contribute to society somehow, said Rin. I don’t do any other job right now except training. I love animals and nature, and also going shopping. But for as long as I can remember, I haven’t done much besides training, besides things that will make me stronger. I would love to travel the world, going around visiting training facilities and MMA gyms.
