12-year-old girl to fight 24-year-old woman at Deep Jewels 16 in Japan

We’ve seen fighters such as Rory MacDonald, Michael McDonald, and Jordan Mein compete in professional MMA as young as 16 years of age. On a vastly different and far worse note, Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov literally staged child vs. child fights involving his sons. There is a fight coming up on May 20th in Tokyo, Japan which will pit a 12-year-old girl known as “MoMo” against 24-year-old Momoko Yamasaki. Seriously.

The “good” news is that this isn’t a professional bout, but instead an amateur one. WMMA Rankings has the details.
