Earlier in the day, MsChif was eliminated from the ChickFight V tournament by Jazz. This led to MsChif making an announcement later in the night that she was not done fighting in San Francisco. MsChif made an open challenge to any of the women in the dressing room to take her on right there and now. Not only did Yoshiko Tamura agree to the match, she put her NEO Pacific Ladies Title on the line.
