Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-09-23, some good exchanges between Ayaka Hamasaki and Jinh Yu Frey but it is not enough to get three stars, it gets two.The black belt in judo Ayaka Hamasaki entered this fight with a pro mma record of 13-1-0 (54% finishing rate) and she is ranked as the No.1 women’s atomweight in the world. She suffered her only loss when she faced Claudia Gadelha in 2013, after this bout she has won four consecutive fights winning the Invicta Fc title in 2015 against Herica Tiburcio (=Tiburcio vs Hamasaki) and defending it once in 2016 with Amber Brown (=Hamasaki vs Brown).
Her opponent, Jinh Yu Frey, has a record of 5-1-0 (60% finishing rate) and she entered as the No.2 in the same weight class. She lost to Jodie Esquibel in 2014 but then she has won over Cassie Robb, Liz McCarthy and Herica Tiburcio. Hamasaki vs Frey is valid for the Invicta FC Atomweight title (Hamasaki’s second defense); undercard of Jennifer Maia vs Roxanne Modafferi – Invicta FC 19. Watch the video and rate this fight!

I found this fight far superior to Maia/Modaferri’s. I’d at least give it 3 stars, maybe 4. It wasn’t the fault of the fighter’s that it was stopped early due to a cut. I find watching Modaferri a bit irritating.
