Higashi (3-1) suffered defeat on her professional debut at Pancrase 292. But since then she has put together a three fight winning streak, albeit at the expense of inexperienced opponents.
Cerquiera (2-2) hails from Brazil and went the distance with Sarah Frota, who recently made her UFC debut. She’s lost her last two but will be the toughest opponent Hugashi has faced so far.
