After nearly 10 years in the MMA game, Megumi Fujii will hang up the gloves – after one final fight. Fujii (26-2) on Saturday announced her pending retirement on her Twitter account, saying she will compete for Vale Tudo Japan on October 3, then call it quits. Of her 26 career wins, the 39-year-old has 19 by submission and has never been stopped – her only two losses have gone the distance. Fujii started her MMA career an amazing 22-0 before suffering her first loss, a split-decision setback to Zoila Frausto Gurgel at Bellator 34 in a fight to determine the promotion’s first 115-pound women’s champion. Prior to that loss, after fighting just three times outside her native Japan in her first 19 fights, she came to the States and picked up three wins for Bellator.
