After winning the Girls S-Cup, Kubota won fights against Emi Fujino by TKO (doctor stoppage),[23][24][25] Australian Christina Jurjevic by decision[26] and Mika Nagai by decision in a rematch from their 2007 fight.[27]
2010 Shoot Boxing Girls S-Cup
Kubota was scheduled to face kickboxing and MMA legend Hisae Watanabe on April 11, 2010 , but Kubota broke her finger and Watanabe faced an alternate opponent.[28][29] The two would finally meet on August 29, 2010 during the 2010 Shoot Boxing Girls S-Cup. Kubota stunned everyone including Watanabe with her speed and aggressiveness. The #2-ranked Watanabe had been very confident of winning, but Kubota shocked everyone with her powerful performance and she defeated Watanabe by TKO. Kubota delivered a devastating knee to the body which caused Watanabe to fall to her knees. Watanabe was holding her stomach and was in severe pain and unable to continue the match.
