Martial arts career

Kazuya Abe made his mixed martial arts debut in 1999, at Shooto: Shooter's Soul. He faced Yohei Nanbu. Abe would come out victorious, winning a unanimous decision.[4]

He won another unanimous decision, when he faced the 0-1 Koji Takeuchi during Shooto: Renaxis 1.

He would suffer his first professional loss during Shooto: Renaxis 3, losing by a majority decision against Takenori Ito.

Looking to bounce back during Shooto: Renaxis 5, he fought the future DEEP featherweight and lightweight champion Dokonjonosuke Mishima, and lost a unanimous decision.[5]

His decision streak would continue when he faced Kazuhiro Inoue. The bout ended in a draw.[6]

He would then earn two stoppage wins, knocking Makoto Ishikawa out in the first round, and securing a first round armbar against Matt Hamilton.

His last fight came against Kentaro Imaizumi during Shooto: Treasure Hunt 10. Abe lost, after his corner threw in the towel during the third minute of the first round.[7] This would be the last time Kazuya Abe has fought.
