Jewels 12th Ring
# Jewels 12th Ring

Jewels 12th Ring was a planned mixed martial arts (MMA) to be held by MMA promotion Jewels. The event was planned to be held on March 11, 2011 (2011-03-11) at Shinjuku Face in Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan but it was cancelled a few hours before the start due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

## Background

The first two bouts of the event were disclosed on February 8, 2011 (2011-02-08). 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.
