About this listen

Kana Watanabe takes on Liz Carmouche in the Bellator 261 co-feature on Friday, June 25th. This one could very well be a flyweight title eliminator and broadcasts on Showtime.

Watanabe came on BTB to cover several subjects such as: -the feelings of fighting after nearly a year and a half out of competition and the emotions associated with hearing that split decision call
-being an undefeated MMA fighter and why Kana doesn't care as much about that spotless record
-Watanabe's ability to train in Japan and compete in America amid this global pandemic
-thoughts on her opponent Liz Carmouche's history-making resume and martial arts skillset
-Watanabe's previous bouts in Rizin FF and the pugilistic preference between a ring versus a cage
-lack of flyweight gold in DEEP Jewels/ Rizin and the motivation of Bellator having a 125 lb belt
-being a high-level judoka and the excitement of learning new combative skills within MMA
-if Bellator fans can expect any crushing of kitchenware ala her Rizin FF weigh-ins
