Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Ishihara began his professional MMA career in 2011, debuting in the Shooto promotion. Over the next four-and-a-half years he amassed a record of 7-2-1.

Road to UFC: Japan

In June 2015, Ishihara was announced as one of the eight featherweights competing on Road to UFC: Japan, a show in the style of The Ultimate Fighter. Ishihara faced Tatsuya Ando in the quarterfinals and won by majority decision. He then faced Akiyo Nishiura in the semifinals and again won by decision.

Ishihara ultimately faced Mizuto Hirota in the finals at UFC Fight Night 75 on September 27, 2015. The bout was ruled a split draw with no winner decided.[5] The UFC announced post-fight that Hirota and Ishihara would both be awarded contracts.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In his second fight for the promotion, Ishihara faced Julian Erosa on March 5, 2016 at UFC 196.[7] Ishihara won the fight via KO early in the second round.[8]

Ishihara next faced Horacio Gutiérrez on August 6, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 92.[9] Ishihara won the fight via first round KO and subsequently received a Performance of the Night bonus.[10][11][12]

Ishihara faced Artem Lobov on November 19, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 99.[13] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[14]
