The fight ended in a draw. After a four year absence from the sport, Murata returned to Shooto to face the former Shooto Lightweight champion Rumina Sato. Murata landed an intercepting knee in the second round, as Matsune shot for a takedown, and followed with several strikes before the referee stopped the fight. Matsune's last professional fight was in 2015, during the VTJ Okinawa event, when he fought the former CFFC flyweight champion Kana Hyatt. Hyatt opened the round with a takedown, but was caught in a guillotine attempt from Matsune. After Hyatt defended this submission attempt, Matsune transitioned to an armbar, forcing his opponent to tap.
