Nishiura currently competes in MMA for the DREAM organization as a Featherweight and has also fought for Shooto, Cage Force, and DEEP.
Ishida worked frequent takedowns almost exclusively in favor of striking for the 15-minute affair, though Nishiura was able to regain his feet quickly each time.
In the second frame, Ishida was able to gain mount, but it was Nishiura who drew first blood with a successful sprawl in the final moments that led to a barrage of hammerfists to his opponent's face.
In June 2015, Nishiura was announced as one of the eight featherweights competing on Road to UFC: Japan, a show in the style of The Ultimate Fighter.
After defeating Masaya by unanimous decision in the quarter-finals, he then faced fellow mixed martial artist Michihiro Omigawa in the semis.
