He lost to Peter Aerts by KO due to a right leg kick on August 11, 2009, at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 in Tokyo Final 16 Qualifying GP. On New Year's Eve 2009 he fought another K-1 style kickboxing bout when he took on Ray Sefo at Dynamite!! 2009 and lost by unanimous decision. He was not allowed to kick during this match, as he was wearing boxing shoes, which ended up giving him a large disadvantage against the Samoan. His kickboxing record is currently 0–2.
In his retirement match, Nishijima defeated Bob Sapp under kickboxing rules at Legend 4 in Kumamoto, Japan on November 17, 2013, although he was not allowed to kick as he chose to wear boxing shoes. He dropped Sapp with a body shot. Sapp stood back up but he finished the business with body shots followed by couple of right hooks.[1][2]
