TOKYO – Pancrase, the sport’s second oldest promotion, broke new ground on Sunday night at Differ Ariake, as they finally held its first women’s main event after 17 years of fights.

A hotly contested bout between one of the sport’s best young stars in Mei “V.V Mei” Yamaguchi and fan-favorite “Windy” Tomomi Sunaba headlined Pancrase’s first event since the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11.

Like long-time rival promotion Shooto, Pancrase held a charity auction for victims of the Tohoku earthquake with many of the major gyms in Japan contributing items. But while Shooto limped into its promotional return on Friday with a half-length, scaled-down event, Pancrase stormed back into action with a full-scale, well attended event.
