Smackgirl

Smackgirl

Smackgirl is a Japanese mixed martial arts promotion focused solely on female fighters. The promotion also holds grappling and amateur events along with its main line of professional MMA cards.

Unlike conventional MMA in Japan, Smackgirl does not allow striking to the head while in a grounded position. There is also a 30-second limit for ground fighting. [http://www.boutreviewusa.com/FightNews/smackgirl/4-22.html] There are four weight classes: flyweight (under 48 kg), lightweight (52 kg), middleweight (58 kg), and openweight (no limit).
