Hyatt will be looking to claim back to back victories in the promotion after submitting Jasminka Chive in her last appearance back in early April. Not only making her promotional debut tomorrow, Inoue will also be making her debut North American appearance, as she looks to continue on from an impressive stint in the Jewels promotion.
