In her first fight back since leaving her long-time gym at AACC, former Rizin champion Ayaka Hamasaki scored a much-needed victory tonight at Deep Jewels 51 in Tokyo, Japan. The newly-freelance Hamasaki defeated Ye Ji Lee with a strong performance in the 49kg super atomweight main event.
Though she was not able to secure a finish, Hamasaki was still dominant throughout tonight’s headlining bout and left no doubt in the judges’ minds. In the co-main event, also at super atomweight, former interim strawweight champion Si Woo “Korean Queen Bee” Park stopped Saki Kitamura.
Deep Jewels closed out 2025 with its final event of the year tonight at New Pier Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Deep Jewels 51 was headlined by a super atomweight showdown between former Rizin champion Ayaka Hamasaki and Korean upset queen Ye Ji Lee, who sought another big victory.
Rizin FF Women’s Super Atomweight Champion Seika Izawa retained her title and sent a stern message to her likely next challenger tonight at Rizin Fighting Federation: “Landmark Vol. 12” in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. Izawa defeated Saori “Little Giant” Oshima in tonight’s 49kg co-main event.
