Quick read
Kyoji Horiguchi defeated Amir Albazi by unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 113 on February 8, 2026, improving to 2-0 in his UFC return. He expressed strong desire for a flyweight title shot against new champion Joshua Van, while suggesting Alexandre Pantoja could get the first defense despite Pantoja's recent arm injury loss to Van at UFC 323. Horiguchi sustained a possible broken hand but insists he'll fight anywhere, anytime after recovery. This positions him as a top contender in the flyweight division, potentially entering the Top 5. Expect matchmaking updates soon as he aims to add UFC gold to his RIZIN and Bellator titles.
