RED STARS-A Official Match

Former World Champion Sayaka Kurei suffered a heartbreaking defeat. She faced Maika in an official Red Stars A match. Having already played three matches since the start of the tournament, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, Kurei was forced into a difficult situation as her left arm was targeted. She fought back with 10 consecutive elbows, two dropkicks, a swan dive flying elbow, and a body scissors sleeper hold, but she couldn't seize a decisive opportunity

So he went for a skewer-style thrilling spear followed by a jumping body-lock sleeper hold to capture his opponent. He went for the win in one go, but his opponent escaped, and then locked in an armbar on his left arm, resulting in a defeat in 6 minutes and 1 second

This means she's now down to two losses after two wins to start the tournament, bringing her record to even. "This is my fourth match... I think I'm probably the furthest along right now. There are six consecutive matches and six consecutive tournaments with official matches since the start of the season, and this is my fourth match. There are a lot of matches concentrated in the first half, so I wanted to score points before anyone else and put pressure on everyone, but I lost to Maika today. But this was my first singles match against Maika, and she was actually someone I wanted to fight after I had successfully defended the red belt. I'm really disappointed to have lost here, but there's still tomorrow. After that, at Korakuen Hall, there are big, tough opponents waiting for me, like AZM and Itsuki Aoki, so I won't give up here and will try to score points again," she vowed, promising to make a comeback
