Jewels 9th Ring was a mixed martial arts (MMA) event held by MMA promotion Jewels. The event took place on July 31, 2010 at Shinjuku Face in Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan.[1][2]

Background

On May 25, 2010, Jewels announced that the event would hold the first round of the Jewels Lightweight Queen Grand Prix; an 8-woman tournament to crown the first lightweight (-52 kg (115 lb)) champion.[3][4][5] Shizuka Sugiyama was added to the card along with some other fighters for the tournament on June 23, 2010.[6] More fighters for the lightweight tournament were announced on June 27, 2010.[7][8] It was announced on July 7, 2010 that Sugiyama would fight in a shoot boxing match against Mongolian pro-wrestler Esui, plus two more matches were added to the card.[9][10] The rest of the fighters were announced on July 20, 2010.[11]

On July 24, 2010, it was announced that Sugiyama would not participate in the event due to injury and Esui would fight in a regular MMA match instead of shoot boxing against Mayumi Aoki.[12] The order of the fights was revealed on July 29, 2010.[13] The weigh-ins took place one day later.[13]
