Gabi Garcia is in for a busy July.
The nine-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion was already scheduled for her fifth pro MMA bout at Rizin Fighting Federation's World Grand Prix on July 30. However, before that, the grappling powerhouse is going to have her first stand-up rules fight in short order: Shoot Boxing has announced that Garcia will meet women's MMA pioneer and pro wrestler Megumi Yabushita at Girls S-Cup 2017 on July 7 at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo.
The three-round contest will be under full Shoot Boxing rules, which permits punches, elbows, knees and kicks standing, but also features clinch throws and standing submissions.
