Kickboxing career

K-1

Kubo returned to K-1 in 2017, and was immediately scheduled to take part in the 2017 K-1 Super Bantamweight Grand Prix. It was his first kickboxing bout in nearly five years.[2] Kubo beat Suen Tak Chuen by an extra round unanimous decision in the quarterfinals, and Nobuchika Terado by a second-round knockout in the semifinals. Kubo fought Yoshiki Takei in the finals, and lost the fight by unanimous decision.[3]

After he finished as the runner-up in the Super Bantamweight Grand Prix, Kubo was scheduled to fight a rematch with Nobuchika Terado for the Krush Super Bantamweight title, at Krush 82.[4] The fight was declared a draw after three rounds, and went into an extra round, after which Terado won a unanimous decision.[5]

Kubo was scheduled to fight a rematch with Yoshiki Takei for the K-1 Super Bantamweight title at K-1: K'FESTA.1.[6] Takei won the fight by knockout midway through the first round.[7]
