RIZIN Fighting Federation is continuing the grand tradition of MMA tournaments with the announcement of its first women’s Grand Prix, which will begin on Oct. 15 at the Marine Messe Fukuoka arena in Fukuoka, Japan.

The GP will feature eight super atomweight (108 pounds) fighters vying for a 10 million yen prize (approximately $91,000 USD).

Tuesday’s press release highlighted an opening round matchup between former shoot boxing standout Rena Kubota (commonly billed as “RENA”), who has compiled a 4-0 MMA record since making her debut with RIZIN in December 2015. She has won all of her fights by knockout or submission.

She's fighting at the event, but not in the tournament.

This tournament is all about RENA. It's the RENA show. Looking at all the other participants, it's mostly cans and can crushers.
