Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Jewels[edit]

Murakami made her professional debut against Moeri Suda at DEEP JEWELS 30 on October 31, 2020. She replaced Rion Noda who withdrew from the fight on October 13, after suffering an injury in training.[1] Although the fight was ruled a majority decision after the two rounds were contested, with one scorecard of 20–18 for Murakami and two even 19–19 scorecards, the victory was awarded to Murakami under the DEEP JEWELS rules.[2]

Murakami faced Moeri Suda in a rematch at Deep Jewels 38 on September 11, 2022, having previously won by a unanimous decision win in both of their professional debuts.[3] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.[4]

Jewels Microweight Champion[edit]

Murakami faced defending microweight champion Suwanan Boonsorn at Deep Jewels 42 on September 10, 2023.[5] She won the bout by unanimous decision, thus winning the microweight championship.[6]

Murakami is scheduled to face Saori Oshima at Deep Jewels 45 on May 26, 2024.[7]
