Jewels 18th Ring was a mixed martial arts (MMA) event held by promotion Jewels on March 3, 2012 (2012-03-03) at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Koto, Tokyo, Japan.^[1]

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows striking and grappling, both standing and on the ground, using techniques from various combat sports and martial arts. The first documented use of the term mixed martial arts was in a review of UFC 1 by television critic Howard Rosenberg in 1993. The term gained popularity when newfullcontact.com, then one of the largest websites covering the sport, hosted and republished the article. The question of who actually coined the term is subject to debate.

Jewels is a mixed martial arts organization owned by Marverous Japan Co., Ltd. focused on female fighters. It is the direct successor of Smackgirl. It has a working relationship with fellow mixed martial arts promotion Deep presided by Shigeru Saeki.

Shin-Kiba 1st Ring is an arena in Tokyo, which holds 290 people. It was opened in 2001, its first event being a JDStar "Grapple Beauty" show, even though the inside of the building was not even close to being completed. It has quickly become a favorite of smaller promotions, for its cheap rental prices and the close proximity that it has to Shin-Kiba Station, and the train lines.
