Murakoshi's five fight winning streak earned him a chance to challenge Hiroki Maeda for the RISE Bantamweight title.[19] Murakoshi won the fight by unanimous decision.[20]

After winning the RISE Bantamweight title, Murakoshi fought three non-title bouts. During RISE 101, he defeated Takashi Oono by unanimous decision.[21] During RISE 102, he defeated Nakalek Kaew.Kanraya by a second round KO.[22] During RISE 104, he defeated So Jeon Hu by a second round KO.[23]

Return to RISE

[edit]

Returning to RISE, Murakoshi went on a three fight winning streak. He won a split decision against Itto,[27] and scored (T)KO wins over Tomo Arimatsu[28] and Eisaku Ogasawara.[29]

Murakoshi fought a rematch with Tenshin Nasukawa for the RISE Bantamweight title in September 2016.[30] Nasukawa won the fight by majority decision.[31]

After his failed title bid, Murakoshi won his next four fights.

Murakoshi fought Haruma Saikyo for the Krush Featherweight title, during Krush 86. Saikyo successfully defended his title by an extra round decision.[36]

Yuta Murakoshi participated in the 2018 K-1 Featherweight World Grand Prix.[37] He defeated Elias Mahmoudi by an extra round split decision in the quarterfinals. He again went into an extra round against Jorge Varela in the semifinals, after which Murakoshi won a unanimous decision. In the tournament finals, he fought a rematch with Haruma Saikyo, whom he defeated by TKO, after Saikyo suffered an ankle injury in the first round.[38]

After winning the K-1 Featherweight title, Murakoshi lost a decision to Alex Rivas, in November 2018.[39]

He was scheduled to defend his K-1 Featherweight title against Hirotaka Urabe at K'Festa 2. Murakoshi won the fight by unanimous decision.[40]
