LOS ANGELES – Sumiko Inaba doesn’t pick her fights. She simply fights in them.
At Bellator 286, that’ll be no different when Inaba (4-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) steps into the cage against Nadine Mandiau (2-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), a fighter she’s already faced and defeated once before.
“They gave me an opponent change,” Inaba told MMA Junkie on Thursday. “I think the original opponent they gave me had some issues getting here, so they gave me her and I took it. I wanted to fight on this card and I want to stay active.”
