Fighting out of Tokyo, Japan, mixed martial arts veteran Mei “V.V” Yamaguchi, 35, has earned her third victory in ONE Championship. She was one of the winners at “ONE: Destiny of Champions” on December 7, 2018 at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

In every aspect of the match, Yamaguchi was a step ahead of Torres. The Japanese fighter picked her Filipino opponent apart in the stand-up and on the mat, the former outmaneuvered the latter.
