Miki Motono retained her Queen of Pancrase title with a
\nsecond-round TKO of Satomi Takano<\/h2>\n

The southpaw Motono (11-5) repeatedly connected with straight left
\nhands, which were the most significant strikes of the opening
\nround. Takano (20-15) secured a brief takedown after catching a
\nkick, but Motono continued to win the boxing exchanges after
\nreturning to her feet.<\/p>\n

Takano took Motono down in the second round, but Motono quickly
\nreversed into the scarf-hold position and landed dozens of punches
\nto the face of a defenseless Takano. Takano refused to submit to
\ntwo scarf-hold armlocks, but the fight was finally stopped after
\nshe absorbed more than 50 additional punches. Motono retained her
\ntitle via TKO at the 4:09 mark of Round 2.<\/p>\n

After the fight, Motono credited one of her teammates who had
\ndoubted her. The teammate felt Motono would not be able to finish
\nTakano, which provided extra motivation for the champion to retain
\nher title inside the distance. Motono, who previously held the
\ninterim Deep Jewels title in 2020, has now won three straight
\nfights since making her Pancrase debut this past year.<\/p>\n

Competing for the final time, reigning flyweight Queen of Pancrase
\nchampion Shizuka
\nSugiyama<\/a> (25-8-1) won her retirement bout in the co-main event
\nat 119 pounds. Sugiyama earned a unanimous decision over Emi Fujino<\/a>
\n(31-17-1, 1 NC), who celebrated a milestone of her own by competing
\nin her 50th professional fight.<\/p>\n

The longtime friends circled one another and traded jabs in the
\nopening round, with Sugiyama landing a few lead right hooks from a
\nsouthpaw stance. Fujino replied with two right hands and stuffed a
\nSugiyama takedown attempt.<\/p>\n

Fujino knocked Sugiyama down with a right hook early in the second
\nround. Sugiyama returned to her feet, and Fujino continued to win
\nthe boxing exchanges until Sugiyama took her down into side
\ncontrol. Sugiyama mounted Fujino and landed punches and elbows, but
\ntime was called when Fujino landed an illegal upkick. The fight
\nresumed on the ground, where Sugiyama maintained top position.<\/p>\n

Sugiyama took Fujino down into half guard in the final round and
\nkept her pinned to the mat until the midway point. Just as Fujino
\nlooked to reestablish her boxing, Sugiyama put her on the canvas
\nonce more and landed punches from top position until Fujino kicked
\nher off.<\/p>\n

In the final minute, Fujino marched forward, but Sugiyama cracked
\nher with left hooks to the jaw. All three judges scored the fight
\n30-27 for Sugiyama, who ended her 18-year career with a
\nvictory.<\/p>\n

In her post-fight retirement speech, Sugiyama thanked Fujino for
\nmaking her final fight a memorable one, along with her fans and
\nsupporters. While many fighters view losses as negative points in
\ntheir careers, Sugiyama highlighted her eight defeats as positive
\nexperiences that each taught her something and made her a better
\ncompetitor.<\/p>\n

Bellator veteran Chiara
\nPenco<\/a> (12-5) extended her winning streak to four by defeating
\nformer strawweight Queen of Pancrase champion Karen<\/a>
\n(10-4).<\/p>\n

Penco\u2019s reach advantage allowed her to land early jabs and two
\nright hands. Karen had some success with leg kicks, but Penco\u2019s
\npunches continued to find their mark, and she briefly took Karen
\ndown late in the round.<\/p>\n

Penco opened the second round with more jabs and right hands, but
\nshe noticeably winced when Karen landed a kick to the liver. Karen
\nwas unable to follow up, and her right eye swelled from the damage
\ncaused by Penco\u2019s hard jabs. Karen held her own in the clinch
\nduring the final round, but Penco dealt more damage with jabs and
\nknees to the body.<\/p>\n

The close fight went to the scorecards, with one judge scoring it
\n29-28 for Karen. The remaining two returned scores of 29-28 for
\nPenco, who may have earned herself a title shot with the split
\ndecision victory.<\/p>\n

A featured lightweight showdown saw Chikaya
\nSuzuki<\/a> (3-0) maintain his perfect professional record with a
\nsplit decision victory over veteran Kengo
\nFujimura<\/a> (11-8-2).<\/p>\n

Early on, Fujimura took Suzuki down and threatened with a
\nrear-naked choke, but his inability to secure both hooks allowed
\nSuzuki to escape to his feet. Suzuki scored a takedown of his own
\nand then held Fujimura against the cage in a prolonged clinch.
\nFujimura pulled his arm free just in time to avoid a dangerous
\nstanding kimura.<\/p>\n

Suzuki fought off rear-naked choke and armbar attempts in the
\nsecond round, which Fujimura largely controlled on the ground. The
\nfinal round was the opposite, as Suzuki controlled the grappling
\nwhile a fatigued Fujimura willingly conceded takedowns.<\/p>\n

One judge scored the fight 29-28 for Fujimura. The remaining two
\nscored it 30-27 and 29-28, respectively, for Suzuki, who took the
\nsplit decision.<\/p>\n

Stepping in on very short notice, Tokumitsu
\nTakagi<\/a> (6-2) made the most of his opportunity with a unanimous
\ndecision victory over Da Eun Jung<\/a>
\n(9-7) in a 141-pound catchweight bout.<\/p>\n

Following early clinch battles against the cage, Takagi landed a
\nspinning backfist on the break. Both men exhibited excellent
\ntakedown defense as the clinch battle continued.<\/p>\n

Takagi got the better of the early boxing exchanges in the second
\nround. Jung was unable to take Takagi down, and Takagi floored him
\nwith a counter right hook. Jung returned to his feet, but his
\nattempts to secure a takedown remained unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

The final round was contested entirely in the clinch until referee
\nTakarada separated the fighters with 70 seconds remaining. Takagi
\nscored a brief takedown late in the fight and walked away with the
\nunanimous decision via scores of 29-28 and 30-27 twice.<\/p>\n

The preliminary card concluded with a flyweight matchup between
\nDaiki
\nShimada<\/a> (2-1) and Ruki Saito<\/a>
\n(4-4). Shimada pressed the action early with body kicks and left
\nhands but was taken down into side control. Saito attempted a
\nrear-naked choke, and the fighters battled back and forth for
\nposition.<\/p>\n

Saito landed a hard elbow from the clinch in the second round, but
\nit was the only significant strike, and Shimada secured a takedown.
\nShimada knocked Saito down with a counter right hook in the final
\nround. Saito recovered quickly, but Shimada snapped his head back
\nlate in the round with an overhand right.<\/p>\n

Shimada\u2019s performance in the second half of the fight was enough to
\nearn him a unanimous decision, with scores of 30-27 and 29-28
\ntwice.<\/p>\n

Yuki
\nIto<\/a> (1-3) earned his first professional victory with a split
\ndecision over Daiki Mine<\/a>
\n(2-5) at flyweight.<\/p>\n

The first four minutes were fairly uneventful, but the pace picked
\nup late in the round. Mine landed elbows from the clinch against
\nthe cage, and Ito took him down and secured back control. The round
\nended with Ito landing punches to the side of Mine\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

Mine connected with a left cross midway through the second round
\nbefore Ito took him down. Mine scrambled and took Ito\u2019s back but
\nwillingly gave up the position and chose to stand.<\/p>\n

Ito slowed in the final round, allowing Mine to land punches that
\nset up a takedown. Mine hunted for a rear-naked choke and landed
\nelbows and punches. The tired fighters traded wild haymakers in the
\nfinal seconds.<\/p>\n

One judge scored the fight 29-28 for Mine, while the remaining two
\nhad it 29-28 for Ito, who earned the split decision.<\/p>\n

Soukichi
\nMaeda<\/a> (3-4-1) and Takashi
\nKoyama<\/a> (3-4) engaged in a back-and-forth bantamweight bout that
\nended with Maeda\u2019s hand raised.<\/p>\n

Koyama landed a combination that forced Maeda to dive at his ankles
\nin search of a takedown. Koyama attempted an inverted triangle
\nchoke, which seemed to fire up Maeda, who responded with a steady
\nstream of right hands on the ground.<\/p>\n

The two exchanged looping punches in the second round until Maeda
\nwas dropped by a right hook. He recovered, however, and fought his
\nway out of a tight anaconda choke. Maeda finished the round on top,
\nlanding punches from Koyama\u2019s guard.<\/p>\n

Maeda picked Koyama up and slammed him to the mat in the final
\nround. Maeda remained in control until the final minute, when a
\nmistake allowed Koyama to take his back.<\/p>\n

The judges were divided, with one scoring the bout 29-28 for
\nKoyama. The remaining two had it 29-28 for Maeda, who earned the
\nsplit decision.<\/p>\n

The card kicked off with a lightweight matchup between Taisei
\nHata<\/a> (2-2) and Torao
\nHamachi<\/a> (1-1). Hamachi pursued takedowns during the opening two
\nminutes until he was stunned by a counter combination from Hatta.
\nHamachi\u2019s left eye swelled, and Hatta hurt him again with ground
\npunches later in the round.<\/p>\n

Hamachi opened the second round with a takedown and 90 seconds of
\nground control, but Hatta\u2019s punches wobbled him once more after the
\nfighters returned to their feet. Hamachi stumbled around the cage
\nas Hatta pursued him with punches, and the bout was waved off.<\/p>\n

Hatta earned the TKO victory at the 4:19 mark of Round 2. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
