Zanolini made his first RISE Welterweight title defense against Yuichiro Nagashima at RISE 100~BLADE 0~ on July 12, 2014.[4] Zanolini won the fight by disqualification, as an illegal move broke his ribs and left him unable to continue fighting.[5]

Zanolini was scheduled to face Maki Hinrekkufai at HEAT 33 on September 7, 2014. He won the fight by an extra round decision. Zanolini was afterwards scheduled to face Chuchai Hadesworkoutgym at HOOST CUP KINGSWEST ~ Jin of Naniwa ~ on November 16, 2014.

Return from retirement

It was revealed on July 5, 2018, that Zanolini would come out of retirement to face Go Woo Yong at HEAT 43 on September 17, 2018.[18] A month prior, on June 18, a fire broke out in Zanolini's Brazil-based gym, which almost completely destroyed it. This event forced him to return to competition, in order to repay the rebuilding of his gym, as he was uninsured.[19] Zanolini won the fight by a second-round knockout.[20]
