Yabushita was able to avoid Goundarenko’s submission game with the turtle position, and Goundarenko’s stamina proved to be less than impressive, having competed in Olympic judo at 72kg (158 lbs.). How? ReMix rules prohibited ground-and-pound, and featured a 20 second time limitation for ground fighting. One would think that the heavier fighter would have an advantage, but Goundarenko lost in the tournament semifinals to 60kg (132 lbs.) fighter Megumi Yabushita. L-1 ruler Goundarenko also took part in the tournament since, like men’s MMA, there were no weight classes in the early stages. That type of money had never before been offered in female MMA, so many foreign fighters came to participate in the events, including current stars like Marloes Coenen and Erin Toughill. The first ReMix World Cup offered a huge bonus of $100,000 to the tournament winner.
#WMMA 3 RULES PRO#
Therefore, Neo Women’s Pro Wrestling started an event named ReMix in 2000. The first L-1 tourney was ruled by Svetlana Goundarenko, a Russian Olympic judoka who tipped the scales at 150kg (330 lbs.).Īfter a few shows, LLPW discontinued its experiment, but in that era, female pro wrestling orgs couldn’t ignore MMA. Martial artists who convert from other disciplines only truly shine against stiff competition, and the Japanese female MMA scene isn’t at that level yet, aside from a handful of top-tier fighters.įemale MMA in Japan began when the promotion Ladies Legend Pro Wrestling (LLPW) started its “shoot fighting” Ultimate L-1 Challenge tournament in 1995.
I don’t judge those fighters by their backgrounds, but I do think elite martial artists are a special breed. The thin female scene has also acquired much of its talent from kickboxing. In 2010, you can still find many current and ex-pro wrestlers competing in Japanese women’s promotions like Jewels and Valkyrie.
Japanese women’s MMA has its roots in female pro wrestling. If you have the will and knowledge to write something similar, please write it. But, this was a piece that needed writing, so I’ve written it to the best of my abilities. Most of the information comes from Japanese sources, so the history must be slightly Japanized. Here, I’ve attempted to construct a history, pieced together with all the information I could research. There hasn’t been much written on the history of female MMA. It’s not a very long history, and it’s constantly changing, so sometimes people don’t think it’s important, but I think examining the sport’s history is essential to understanding its present and future. That also automaticly became the upset of the year so far in the game, which is pretty fun to see as you can always book a rematch etc.MMA has history.
I just had one match were one guy won the first two rounds for sure (you get to see 'live feedback' as the match is simmed, so you can tell who does more + commentary often say who they think the round went too), however the opponnent still managed to get the win by decision.
#WMMA 3 RULES PLUS#
Submissions are improved and don't mean the end if one is locked in, plus you can see some upsets in matches.
#WMMA 3 RULES SERIES#
WMMA3 is the best of the series so far, having nice yet simple graphics for its fighters and having many great new futures.
#WMMA 3 RULES MODS#
The game uses a fantasy world for its promotions and fighters, HOWEVER, you can download fan made mods that future real life promotions and fighters.Ĭurrently I only played the first game (WMMA1) and the trial of WMMA3. It's pretty basic with no sound, but for a MMA fan it can be a lot of fun. World of Mixed Martial Arts 3 is a MMA sim/management game. I did not see a thread for this game, so here I am posting one
