Originally scheduled for the doomed UFC Fight Night Manila card, a matchup of former flyweight title challengers has been rebooked for UFC Fight Night 99 “Kim vs. Nelson” on Nov. 19 at SSE Arena in Belfast as Kyoji Horiguchi will lock horns with Ali Bagautinov.
The 25-year-old Horiguchi was submitted with one second remaining of the fifth round by reigning 125-pound king Demetrious Johnson in their bout at UFC 186. Since then, the American Top Team representative has rebounded to post back-to-back decision triumphs over Chico Camus and Neil Seery.
