In Likely Fiinal Fight, Megumi Fujii Victorious at Vale Tudo Japan 2012

The 38-year-old MMA veteran defeated Mei Yamaguchi (10-6-1) via unanimous decision today at Vale Tudo Japan 2012 in Tokyo.

Prior to the fight, which marked her 26th career win, Fujii (26-2) announced she's likely to retire from the sport at year's end.

Today, against her Japanese counterpart and the final Valkyrie champion, the 115-pound Fujii used takedowns, submission attempts, and ground and pound to win both rounds of the two-round fight. She earned a 20-18 unanimous-decision victory.

Fujii, an eight-year pro, owns 19 submissions in 26 career wins. Today's victory marked her first in a year; the other came at a DREAM year-end event in Japan, where she submitted Karla Benitez in December 2011.

Fujii's only career losses both came in Bellator, where Fujii suffered questionable decision losses to Zoila Gurgel (in a Season 3 tournament) and Jessica Aguilar (earlier this year at Bellator 69).

In her native Japan, Fujii has posted a 19-0 record for organizations such as Shooto, BodogFIGHT, Smackgirl and Jewels. She began her career 22-0 before the loss to Gurgel.
