Gabi Garcia, standing 6’2″ and weighing 209 pounds, entered the ring as a towering and undefeated MMA fighter with a background as a nine-time BJJ world champion. Her opponent, Megumi Yabushita, was a 45-year-old veteran of the sport with over 20 years of experience but significant physical disadvantages. Yabushita stood at just 5’2″ and weighed 134 pounds, making the fight appear lopsided from the outset. Yabushita was also on a seven-fight losing streak at the time.
