UFC Record Breakdown
Kyoji Horiguchi is back in the UFC after nearly a decade away, and he's jumping straight into deep water against Amir Albazi in the co-main event at UFC Vegas 113 on February 7. Horiguchi just submitted Tagir Ulanbekov with a rear naked choke back in November, looking sharp as hell in his return. Meanwhile, Albazi is coming off a tough loss to Brandon Moreno in November 2024, dropping a unanimous decision after five hard rounds. That's his first L in the UFC, and you know he's hungry to bounce back. Here's the thing about Horiguchi. He's not some washed vet looking for one last payday.
If this hits the ground in rounds two or three, someone's getting choked out.
This dude went to war with Demetrious Johnson for the flyweight title back in 2015, getting caught in an armbar with one second left in the fight. Since then, he's been tearing it up in Japan, and that recent finish of Ulanbekov showed he's still got it. Albazi has been on a tear too, with that slick rear naked choke of Francisco Figueiredo in 2022 and a split decision win over Kai Kara France in 2023. Both guys are orthodox strikers who can grapple, but Horiguchi's volume striking is nasty. He landed 115 strikes against Ali Bagautinov and 83 against Neil Seery, just overwhelming dudes with output. Albazi's more patient, looking for that perfect moment to snatch your neck or land something heavy.
The Moreno fight showed he can hang in five round wars, even if the judges didn't see it his way. Now at 32 years old, Albazi gets his chance to prove that loss was just a speed bump against a legend who's choosing to fight contenders instead of waiting for a title shot. This flyweight co-main event is officially locked in for the first UFC Vegas card of 2026, going down at the Meta APEX. Horiguchi passed on a potential title shot to take this fight, which tells you everything about his confidence level. For Albazi, this is the perfect opportunity to get back in the win column against a big name and prove the Moreno setback was just a learning experience. With fight week here, both guys are locked in and ready to throw down in what's become one of the most anticipated flyweight matchups of early 2026.
