Little Giant came up short in that opportunity, falling to women's pound-for-pound stalwart Seika Izawa via unanimous decision at Rizin Landmark Vol. 12 this past November. Yama, who is more commonly known as Kate Lotus, will take a four-bout winning streak into her matchup with Oshima. Two of those victories decision wins over Bo Mi Lee and Yu Ri Shim occurred under the Rizin banner."
