Background

The first two bouts of the event were disclosed on February 8, 2011 (2011-02-08).[5][6] Four more bouts were announced on February 17, 2011 (2011-02-17), including the addition of American fighter Lisa Ellis as an opponent for Jewels lightweight champion Ayaka Hamasaki in a special rules non-title bout.[7][8] The rest of the card was revealed on March 3, 2011 (2011-03-03), which included the debut in MMA of South Korean boxer Ji Yun Kim and a kickboxing match.[9][10] It was announced the next day that Ellis had suffered an injury in training and that fellow Bellator season three semi-finalist Jessica Aguilar would face Hamasaki instead.[11][12]

The weigh-ins took place on March 10, 2011 (2011-03-10), with American fighter Danielle West missing weight and being penalized with a red card (point deduction) in her bout against Mongolian Esui.[13][14] Fighters Sakura Nomura and Kim did not take part in the weigh-ins and instead were going to be weighed on the day of their match.

gollark: I don't think this is true, except in a very broadly defined sense.
gollark: If *evolution*... well, "attempts" would be anthropomorphizing it... to cross said chasm, all it can do is just throw broken ones at it repeatedly with no understanding, and select for better ones until one actually sticks.
gollark: If I want to cross a chasm with a bridge, or something, I can draw on my limited knowledge of physics and materials science and whatever and put together a somewhat sensible prototype, then make inferences from what happens to it, and get something working out.
gollark: No. We can reason about problems in various ways. So can some animals.
gollark: It doesn't have its own will. It's a giant non-agent mess driven by tons of interacting blind optimization processes.
