Yasumoto challenged Kiminori Matsuzaki for the REBELS Red Super Flyweight title at REBELS.51 on June 11, 2016, at just 16 years of age. His 41 year old opponent was making his first title defense. The difference in experience was likewise notable, as Matsuzaki was a 39–fight veteran, while Yasumoto was making only his sixth professional appearance. Yasumoto won the fight by a unanimous decision, with scores of 49–47, 49–47 and 49–46, spending the majority of the bout pressuring and attempting to overwhelm Matsuzaki.
