Quick read
Kyoji Horiguchi continued his impressive comeback at UFC Vegas 113 on February 8, 2026, defeating Amir Albazi by unanimous decision in the co-main event. This marks Horiguchi's second consecutive victory since rejoining the UFC, achieved within a three-month timeframe. The win over the No. 6-ranked flyweight is expected to propel Horiguchi into the Top 5 of the division. Despite his strong performances, the chaotic flyweight title picture—complicated by Alexandre Pantoja's injury and Manel Kape's positioning at the top of contenders—may delay Horiguchi's title opportunity. Analysts suggest a main event matchup against Tatsuro Taira in Japan could be his next fight.
