Rin Nakai goes sexy

This will be my first post for a very long time, and what wakes me up from hypernation? One of my favorite female fighters, Rin Nakai has deceided to follow Mika Nagano and do some sexy pictures. There has already been some of those on the net, but she has now added to the collection.

The pictures were posted in relation to an interview she did with GBR, which of course you need to be a paying member to view. However, she has posted most of the pictures on her own blog

Personally I am torn in my opinons of female MMA fighters doing this to get attention. All publicity is good publicity, or so they say. But I wish the female MMA fighters could get attention for being the athletes they are, not the way they look.

Either way the pictures are nice and she didnt go as far as Hisae Watanabe once did in her acting career.

Of course there are more good news for Rin Nakai fans, the Valkyrie champion is taking on Hari in a MMA fight on SRC's New Year card.

Now for some pictures:

6/19 Valkyrie 06 - Fight Order

GCM have announced the fight order for their 6th Valkyrie event. Unfortunately there are only 5 (!) fights on the card...

Considering that the men's card has 6 fights later, I dont know why they havent made this into one ticket event.

The Vakyrie card does have some good fights though, and I am really looking forward to seeing if Rin Nakai can extend her winning streak.

5. Naoko Omuro 11-7-3 vs. 11-4-3 Yasuko Tamada

4/25 SmackGirl - ReMix Tournament - RESULTS

Just got home from what was an awesome event!! It is the first time I have been to a SmackGirl event. There are several reasons why I havnt made it earlier, but finally today I got to it. I was really impressed!! The event was in Korakuen Hall, but they had changed the set-up from what I was used to and I almost didnt reconize it.

The fights where good, and of course the BIG star was Megumi Fuji. Again today she was cornered by Josh Barnett, who was willingly posing for pictures and signing autographes after the event. Mega Megu is celebrating her 34th birthday tomorrow and after her win today I am sure there will be a party.

I was also very impressed by Ginele Marquez, she was very good in her fight and won a very deserved vicory even after receiving a yellow card for punching in the face on the ground.

I will post some pictures from this event on Sunday.

The Tournament finals will be the following:
Lightweight: Megumi Fuji vs. Anna Michelli Tavares
Openweight: Ginele Marquez vs. Hitomi Akano

For the results:
Megumi Fuji Def. Su Hi Ham by Arm-bar Round 1
Hitomi Akano Def. Hiroko by Arm-bar Round 2
Anna Michelli Tavares Def. Lisa Ward by decision 3-0
Ginele Marquez Def. Atsuko Emoto by decision 3-0
Windy Tomomi Def. AZUMA by KO Round 2
Rin Nakai Def. Kanako Takeshita by deicision
Mika Nagano Def. Asami Kodera by decision
Miki Morifuji Def. Benkei by decision
Megu Def. Hitomi Sakamoto by decision
