Karmen Petrovic vs. Sumie Sakai added to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XII
Another new match is set for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XII, this one featuring a WWE NXT talent and a legend of Japanese women’s wrestling.
As Barnett revealed Tuesday night in a social media post, WWE NXT’s Karmen Petrovic will face Sumie Sakai at Bloodsport on November 24.
Sakai, 52, is a 27-year veteran who has held over a dozen titles in promotions throughout the world, while Petrovic, 29, is still looking to make her mark in the wrestling world.
Barnett wrote:
“One wrestler’s skills as a Kareteka have been the backbone of what has made her successful in her short time in the Pro Wrestling ring. One wrestler’s skills as a Judoka brought her to the realm of Pro Wrestling and MMA, throwing and armbarring many on the way to carving out a reputation as one of the best. A young blood looks to make a name for herself off the power of her kicks, while a seasoned veteran steps into the ring to show a youngster what it takes to be a top class Pro Wrestler.
