Thought I'd try and tap the Sherdog fountain of MMA knowledge...
I'm looking for advice/opinion/knowledge from anyone who followed WMMA back in the day.
I've been working through the early history of women's 115lb MMA, and obviously Megumi Fujii is the most accomplished female fighter the sport has yet seen at that weight (and probably the most successful female MMA fighter pound-for-pound) - no disrespect to my girl Joanna Champion.
But I've been struggling to find much about Yuka Tsuji that's in English. It's difficult to find much footage of her too (unlike Fujii). However I gather that she is often considered the second-most successful 115lbs fighter, after Megumi. Is this accurate? She was clearly a highly dangerous submission artist, at least judging from her record. How did she compare with Megumi?
If anyone has any information/insight/context on Yuka Tsuiji and her place in WMMA history, I'd be grateful.
