Fujii is brilliant,absolutely fantastic talent,the best P4P womens fighter,without a doubt.Not only has she got a sick ground game but her stand up seems to improve everytime you see her also,so she's definitely still working hard on improving her skills.Josh Barnetts star pupil.
Schnieder put up a bit of a challenge for her in Fujii's bellator debut,(I say that purely because she managed to survive untill the third rd)but she was still completely out matched,that was the first time Fujii has finished a girl with strikes,if I remember correctly.The other night,Lisa Ward shit herself as soon as Fujii grabbed a hold of her,it only took about a minute to grab that armbar,a very easy semi final win.
Frausto is a different challenge in the final though,as she is twice the size of any of the girls in this tourney(she's basically a 135lber fighting at 115 lb)and has some serious power,ask our own Rosie Sexton(poor girl)
If she could keep the fight standing,moving and throwing shots from a distance,she has a chance at pulling off the upset,but really I can't for a second seeing that happen,IMO as soon as Frausto throws a kick or over extends on a punch,Fujii will have her on her back on the ground,where I think Frausto will be completely out of her element and won't have the now how to get back up,where Fujii will just control her and get the sub.
