SHOOTO KINGS VIII: Samurai Spirit is another cracker on the fightcard richer! Local hero Judith Ruis from Bonlanden will meet a real knock-out artist: the "First Lady" of Shidokan from Ukraine Iryna Godynets! And that the karate lady from Ushhorod has real dynamite in her fists and legs is shown by her only professional MMA fight in Ukraine, which she won by KO after just over 20 seconds in round 1. Iryna is a true beast in the ring and especially in hard-hitting full-contact karate, the Ukrainian is a global force. As runner-up in 2015 and winner of the infamous All Japan Open Championships, her name is on everyone's lips and already four years ago she made the switch to professional MMA at "West Fight" in Lviv (Ukraine).

Local hero Judith Ruis will face a real KO machine in the co-main event of SHOOTO KINGS VIII: Samurai Spirit on May 18 in Reutlingen. But Judith will enter the ring top prepared and above all highly motivated in front of the numerous home fans to recommend herself with a victory for further professional fights in Japan. However, this is also exactly Iryna's plan and she will not let anyone steal her thunder in the "lion's den". After her husband Mykhailo impressively won his last professional kickboxing fight in Japan last week, Iryna will definitely want to follow suit and look for an early KO victory.

The fans can look forward to a real ring battle, where you should not blink, because here it can go damn fast! Be there live at the fight on May 18 in the Wittumhalle in Reutlingen - Rommelsbach!
