Jewels 12th Ring


Jewels 12th Ring was a planned mixed martial arts to be held by MMA promotion Jewels. The event was planned to be held on at Shinjuku Face in Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan but it was cancelled a few hours before the start due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

Background

The first two bouts of the event were disclosed on. Four more bouts were announced on, including the addition of American fighter Lisa Ellis as an opponent for Jewels lightweight champion Ayaka Hamasaki in a special rules non-title bout. The rest of the card was revealed on, which included the debut in MMA of South Korean boxer Ji Yun Kim and a kickboxing match. It was announced the next day that Ellis had suffered an injury in training and that fellow Bellator Jessica Aguilar would face Hamasaki instead.
The weigh-ins took place on, with American fighter Danielle West missing weight and being penalized with a red card in her bout against Mongolian Esui. Fighters Sakura Nomura and Kim did not take part in the weigh-ins and instead were going to be weighed on the day of their match.
