Reina Miura makes her return to MMA competition on 25th February when she faces UFC veteran and training partner of Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler. The match will be contested in the 155 pound lightweight division.

“King” Miura (1-0-0) may only have just one fight as a pro, but what a debut it was. Back in November at Deep Jewels 14, she submitted Eriko Iwamoto in just 1:57 of the very first round via Armbar. She’s been hailed as the future of women’s MMA in Asia and has a lot of hype surrounding her right now in her home country. She comfortably competes at 155 pounds and plans to be the woman to put the lightweight division on the map, just like Ronda Rousey did with bantamweights and Cris Cyborg with featherweights.

A dominant victory over Baszler would certainly do that for Miura. Shayna Baszler (15-10-0) is a UFC veteran who trains with Ronda Rousey. She holds victories over the likes of Julie Kedzie, Roxanne Modafferi, Alexis Davis, Adrienna Jenkins, Sarah D’Alelio and many more. She even fought the pound-for-pound best female fighter Cris Cyborg taking her past the first round.

Miura plans to make a devastating statement to the MMA world on 25th February, showing everyone why she is unstoppable at 155 pounds and why the lightweight division is the one to watch.

Reina Miura takes on UFC veteran Shayna Baszler on February 25th at DEEP JEWELS 15. The event takes place from the hinjuku FACE arena in Tokyo, Japan.
