Kiteretsu needed one clean sequence to end the FORCE 24 main event. Early in round two he landed a right middle kick, brought the leg back and fired a right straight that dropped Kohei Uoyama. Two left pounds followed before the referee stepped in at 0:17.
The win came after a mixed run. According to Gong Kakutogi, Kiteretsu lost several fights in a row through December 2025, then stopped Hayato Ogawa in round one in April 2026. He lost a decision to Sadayoshi Nojiri in May. His last FORCE appearance was in December 2017, a first-round TKO of Jikichoku Gamon, so this was a return after nine years.
Uoyama, who fights out of HOPE, debuted in 2024. He had knocked out Kong Namihira in round two and then been submitted by Shun Komiyama. In May 2026 he stopped Tetsuya in 54 seconds of round one, which made him a live opponent. Both men weighed 61.1 kg and the first round was a close, patient exchange of jabs and counters before the finish.
After the fight Kiteretsu brought his children into the cage. He said he keeps fighting to bet even one percent on his own potential, and that the win meant a lot because his children had rarely seen him win.
Earlier, Matsuura took a lightweight decision from Kakemizu. Both fought southpaw, and Kakemizu had his moments with takedowns, but Matsuura took the back in both rounds and attacked with rear-naked choke attempts, pounds and elbows. He did not finish, but the judges scored it 20-18 across the board, according to MMAPLANET.
No next bouts have been announced for the winners.
