Machi Fukuda

⚡67%

Machi Fukuda, fighting out of Japan, boasts a professional record of 10-2-0 (or 7-2-0 depending on the source) and is recognized as a high-level grappler with a strong judo background. Her recent performances include a TKO victory via ground-and-pound in March 2025 at RIZIN 50, showcasing her ability to finish fights on the mat. She has also secured wins through submissions like heel holds and arm-triangle chokes. While she has been working on her striking, her grappling remains her primary strength. Anelya Toktogonova, from Kyrgyzstan, holds a record of 6-1-1 (or 2-1-0). She is younger and secured a first-round submission victory in March 2023. However, the depth of her overall professional experience and consistency against high-level competition appears less extensive than Fukuda's. Fukuda's experience in promotions like RIZIN and Deep Jewels, coupled with her proven ability to control and finish opponents on the ground, gives her a significant advantage. Given Fukuda's grappling dominance and Toktogonova's past submission win, this fight is likely to be decided on the ground. Fukuda's more diverse finishing methods and recent activity suggest she will be able to secure a submission after some initial exchanges.
