Kyoji Horiguchi made weight at 125 lbs ahead of his flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 119 on June 20, airing live on Paramount+.
Kyoji Horiguchi successfully hit the flyweight limit of 125 pounds on Thursday, clearing his weigh-in ahead of his scheduled bout at UFC Vegas 119 on June 20, which airs live on Paramount+.
Horiguchi, 35, arrives at the event carrying a record of 36 wins and 6 losses, cementing his status as one of the most accomplished fighters in the flyweight division. The Japanese veteran, who trains out of American Top Team, stands five-foot-four with a 63-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance. He lands 3.64 significant strikes per minute at a 47 percent accuracy rate, and adds 1.67 takedowns per 15 minutes to keep opponents guessing on both feet and on the mat.
Why it matters
- Horiguchi's ability to make 125 pounds cleanly removes any pre-fight weight-cut concerns heading into fight night.
- At 35 years old with a deep 36-fight winning ledger, every appearance represents a high-stakes moment in what remains a decorated career.
- His well-rounded skill set — combining consistent striking volume with a credible takedown threat — makes him a difficult stylistic puzzle for any flyweight opponent.
