Meison Hide Usami (Japanese: 宇佐美秀メイソン, Usami Hide Meison, born May 20, 2001) is a Canadian-Japanese professional kickboxer and mixed martial artist. He competes in the welterweight division of RISE, where he is the RISE welterweight champion. He is also the interim ISKA Oriental Rules Intercontinental Welterweight champion.

Usami is the younger brother of Sho Patrick Usami who is also a mixed martial artist.

Background

Usami learned karate from an early age, and after a while he left martial arts and spent his time in Canada from the age of 15 to 20. He returned to Japan at the age of 20 and started mixed martial arts (MMA). He gained experience in amateur mixed martial arts while training with Kiichi Kunimoto and Kintaro at Paraestra Higashi Osaka and other venues, and made his professional debut as a professional mixed martial artist in 2022.

Mixed martial arts career

Usami made his professional mixed martial arts debut on April 24, 2022, at POUND STORM. He faced Su Sung Cho and lost by decision 1–2 after being knocked down.

Kickboxing career

Usami also started kickboxing in December 2022, and has won five consecutive matches in four organizations: Ganryujima, KNOCKOUT, K-1, and RISE. He basically participates in kickboxing matches without any water. He also said that kickboxing is a "detour," saying, "I have many favorite mixed martial artists, and I want to become famous as an athlete, so I will eventually return to mixed martial arts."

RISE

Usami faced Ryota Nakano at RISE WORLD SERIES 2024 OSAKA on June 15, 2024. The fight ended in a majority decision draw, after two extra rounds were contested.

Usami faced Takumi Sanekata for the vacant RISE welterweight championship at GLORY RISE Featherweight Grand Prix on December 21, 2024. He won the bout by unanimous decision to win the title.
