At the tender age of 20, Mizuki Inoue is already being courted by the UFC and is ranked as one of the top women’s 115-pound fighters in the world, but, despite the abundant positives, 2014 has turned out to be a frustrating year. She has lost two out of her three fights, but Inoue was hindered firstly by misfortune, when dropping a split decision to Karolina Kowalkiewicz in her recent Invicta outing, and secondly, some promotional madness with Deep ruling that her submission win over Emi Tomimatsu should be ruled a loss because she missed weight. However, Inoue is not complaining about either outcome and says she does not feel she did enough to justify getting the nod from the judges at Invicta FC 9.
