After being sent some BCH, Yamaguchi seemed pleasantly surprised to see how fast it took to receive the funds. Upon getting her first BCH, Yamaguchi began to explain how she got started as a female MMA fighter and kickboxer. She started training in Los Angeles California when she was young, saying, “I always wanted to be like Jackie Chan.”

I watched his movies and I wanted to do something like that so my parents took me to the fighting academy. At nine years old I moved back to Japan and now I teach MMA. When I was learning Karate one of the instructors taught me Jiu Jitsu and I said this is pretty interesting — I found out Jiu Jitsu is wonderful.

Mei Yamaguchi already fought Angela Lee last year. The May 18th bout will be a re-match.
