Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

Yamamiya signed with the UFC in 1999. He made his debut against Eugene Jackson at UFC 23 on November 19, 1999, and lost via first-round knockout. Yamamiya was then granted his release to return to Pancrase.

Pancrase

[edit]

Yamamiya's history with Pancrase goes back his professional debut in 1996, when he faced Satoshi Hasegawa at the 1996 Pancrase Neo-Blood Tournament. He won his debut by split decision. He then lost in the quarter-finals of the tournament, falling to now-MMA legend Yuki Kondo by TKO.

He faced Ryo Kawamura to become the Light Heavyweight King Of Pancrase at Pancrase: Shining 8 on October 1, 2008. He lost via unanimous decision.[1]

On June 5, 2010, Yamamiya challenged Kengo Ura to become the Welterweight King Of Pancrase at Pancrase: Passion Tour 5. He lost the fight via split decision.[2] Yamamiya faced Yuji Hisamatsu at Pancrase 250 on July 28, 2013. Though Yamamiya was the heavy favorite on multiple media scoring websites, Hisamatsu won a majority decision.[3]

DEEP

[edit]

Yamamiya made his DEEP debut on January 8, 2001, when he faced Paulo Filho at DEEP: 1st Impact. He lost via second-round TKO.[4] He faced Yuki Okano at DEEP: 65 Impact on March 22, 2014. Yamamiya was quickly taken down and submitted with a rear naked choke in the first round.[5] Yamamiya faced UFC veteran Keita Nakamura at DEEP: 67 Impact on June 22, 2014.[6] He lost the fight via TKO (punches) in the first round, putting Yamamiya at four losses in a row.[7]

Sengoku

[edit]

Though not currently active for the promotion, Yamamiya signed a contract with Sengoku and made his debut against Alexandre Ribeiro at Sengoku 8 on May 2, 2009.[8] He lost via third-round knockout.[9]
