-53.5 kg Saori Ishioka def. Kanako Oka decision (3-0) [lower-alpha 11]
  1. [9][10][11][2][12][13] In the first round, Hooper tried to close the distance to land punching combinations but Yamanaka used her reach advantage and leg kicks to keep Hooper away. Using jabs, kicks and occasional knees while in the Thai clinch, Yamanaka controlled the first round, damaging Hopper's legs.[12][13] In the second, Yamanaka continued to use the same tactics, winning a unanimous decision.[12][13]
  2. [9][10][11][2][12][13] Seki took the initiative landing some punches at the beginning, but Takimoto kept her distance and while in the clinch dropped Seki with knees. Takimoto then tried to get a rear naked choke, which Seki defended, and Takimoto transitioned into an armbar and forced Seki to submit.[12][13]
  3. [9][10][11][2][12][13] Using kicks, punches and ground control, Sugiyama dominated Haga, with Haga only trying occasional haymakers and trying ineffectively to take the fight to the ground during the first round. During the second round, Sugiyama continued to dominate the fight, receiving a yellow card for accidentally striking Haga's head on the ground, an action forbidden in Jewels, but winning a unanimous decision.[12][13]
  4. [9][10][11][2][12][13] The fight started with a takedown by Nagano. Ozawa defended well while on the ground and the referee stood both fighters up. Ozawa went for a takedown, but Nagano reversed it and got an armbar, which prompted the referee to stop the fight.[12][13]
  5. [9][10][11][2][12][13] Oikawa started striking Harumi aggressively and went to clinch trying to throw Harumi to the mat, but Harumi defended until Oikawa started changed tactics and started punching Harumi from the close distance. Harumi fell and Oikawa got the armbar.[12][13]
  6. [9][10][11][2][12][13] Both fighters traded punches during the first round, until Oya went for takedowns. In the second round, Oya kept taking the fight to the ground and the rhythm slowed down eventually, with Oya taking the unanimous decision.[12][13]
  7. [9][10][11][2][12][13] Morifuji launched a series of punches which weren't defended by Mayu, knocking her down and rendering her unable to get up.[12][13]
