Undefeated Japanese star Megumi Fujii traveled to California last week along with Josh Barnett and manager Shu Hirata to serve as second in the corner of her friend and training partner Hitomi Akano as she took on Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos at Strikeforce. By now we all know how that debacle turned out, but Frank Pozen has translated Mega Megu's blog post on the subject, which reveals some rather repugnant details that only she and a few others were privvy to. To wit:

Megumi starts by saying that the event was so shameful that she was reluctant to write about it. She says in amateur competition, you are disqualified if you are one gram overweight. The fighter has to manage herself and take responsibility for that. And all women have "women's problems" so everyone is the same. The fighter should have some pride and respect for the sport and the opponent. Of course Cyborg weighs 152lb at the weigh-in. And we all know the CSAC refused to sanction the fight and gave Cyborg until 8PM PST to get down to 149. It was originally scheduled for 6PM but Chute Boxe asked for more time. According to Hirata, the second weigh-in was done in the bathroom with Mr. Cyborg, Hitomi, Megumi & Shannon Hooper supervising. Hirata said that Chute Boxe said that the bathing suit made her heavy. You all saw what she wore. Megumi says Cyborg took off the bikini when she was weighed in the bathroom. She was weighed a couple of times and it still read 150. According to both Megumi & Hirata, Chute Boxe kept giving lame excuses. Hirata said that the CSAC agreed to sanction the fight after Chute Boxe claimed that they misunderstood the target weight due to the language barrier. They thought it was 150. Now it's up to Hitomi to agree to the fight. Megumi said the 20% penalty was inadequate and they refused. By 2AM, Megumi & Hitomi agreed to the fight after meeting with Strikeforce owner Scott Coker. Megumi told him that Hitomi is being penalized for Cyborg's cheating. Coker has said that he sweetened the pot with more than money. Megumi doesn't go into detail. She also wasn't impressed with Cyborg's post match celebration. Megumi Fujii said that this was the complete opposite of what MMA is supposed to be. She was very upset but she kept her composure and demonstrated the class that we as fans know that she always shows. Megumi Fujii is very happy to be home playing with her cats.
