6. Wonder of Championship Tournament - First Round: Konami vs. Giulia
A great physical match with an optimal layout. Konami had the least credible case for being a title contender of the "white belt shitteno" and that was perhaps what made her most dangerous. She took much of the match with submission holds and hard hitting offense. Giulia, who was supported by chants from female fans despite rules prohibiting chants, fought an uphill battle with fierce counterattacks.

7. Wonder of Championship Tournament - First Round: Tam Nakano vs. Natsuko Tora
Although it could have used a stronger finish as a main event, this was a fun match. Natsuko looked comfortable as a monster heel, and Tam's performance was on-point as well. These two changed a lot since their first meeting, but the chemistry is still there.
***1/2
