Toshiomi Kazama

Overview

Toshiomi Kazama's one UFC win is a submission, and all three of his UFC losses are knockouts. Not much room in between.

He fights at bantamweight, is 1-3 in the UFC, and carries a 11-5-0 professional record across all promotions. His UFC debut came in June 2022, and he enters his next fight on a one-fight losing streak.

His losses all end the same way, and the next section shows how fast.

UFC Career

Kazama's first fight on the UFC's radar came at Road to UFC 1.1, where he beat Maimaitituoheti Keremuaili by unanimous decision. That was a Road to UFC event, so it sits outside his UFC record.

His UFC run started in February 2023 with a first-round knockout loss to Rinya Nakamura, stopped at 0:33. Six months later, Garrett Armfield beat him by KO/TKO in round 1 at 4:16.

Then came the one win. In August 2024 he submitted Charalampos Grigoriou in the second round at 1:55. It is his only UFC finish and his only UFC win.

The last result came in August 2025, when Elijah Smith stopped him in round 1 at 4:10.

Three losses, three first-round stoppages. The submission win is the exception.

Fighting Style

Kazama is a grappler first. He hunts for submissions far more often than most fighters and is hard to take down, while also looking to shoot for takedowns himself. His one UFC win fits that profile, a second-round submission.

His striking is the weak point. He doesn't land much on the feet, he gets hit more than most, and he is easy to hit clean. When his strikes do land, they find the target at a good rate, but there aren't many of them.

That gap shows in his losses. All three UFC defeats came by KO/TKO.
