Kyoji Horiguchi likely to make Bellator debut at Madison Square Garden
Yep!
After securing another first-round finish just moments ago at RIZIN 15, Kyoji Horiguchi had a brief conversation with RIZIN boss Nobuyuki Sakakibara inside the ring post-fight.
The topic of discussion was his inevitable shot at Bellator gold after defeating their champion on NYE to become the first ever RIZIN Bantamweight Champion. We knew the rematch was happening, but we didn’t know any other details.
That all changed tonight.
Though not exactly “official,” it seems as though a fight between Horiguchi and Bellator champion Darrion Caldwell is in the works for the upcoming Bellator MSG show on June 11.
