During a pre-fight interview, Kuroda stated his desire to face the reigning Krush Bantamweight champion Kazuki Miburo in the finals. Miburo was scheduled to compete in the opposite side of the bracket.[16] Kuroda managed to knock Ikeda down at the very end of the first round, after landing a counter left-straight to Ikeda's front kick. Ikeda came out attempting to pressure in the second round, but was knocked out with a flying knee 50 second into the round. Advancing to the semifinals, Kuroda faced Hinata Matsumoto.
