Dynamo- OK, I see what you are saying. In Japan there is a clear definition between pro and amatuer. When you see a Japanese fighter's record it is only the pro fights that are counted. There is nothing sneaky about this, it's just done the same as boxing. All the amatuer fights I have seen in Japan have had at least shin pads, usually head-gear and have not gone longer than 3x2. I have never seen or been aware of amatuer fights without at least shin pads.

Some fighters have had a number of amatuer fights. Others gain amatuer experience in full-contact karate tournaments such as Shin-Karate, Seido-Karate and Kyokushin-Karate. Some fighters have had no amatuer experience at all.

So it's possible that Matsumoto has had a bunch of amatuer fights but once a fighter turns pro, any amatuer experience is seen as irrelevant to their pro record.
