Shoot Boxing organization, winning all four of his fights. In 2009 after fighting for a number of promotions he joined Krush and won their "Road to MAX" 70

Saitama Nakajima made his way to the final, stopping both of his opponents including a 0:58 second knockout of fellow prospect
Hinata Watanabe. In the final he faced
Yuichiro Nagashima in what was an entertaining match with both fighters going all out in their quest for victory. In the second round Nakajima managed to knock down Nagashima but was unable to press home his advantage, losing in the third by
