RIZIN 18 Preview - Kyoji Horiguchi returns to light up Nagoya

While the UFC’s got their biggest card of the season, RIZIN’s set up for another wild hybrid card with some of their most action-oriented fighters and two title fights. There’s a good amount of bantamweight fights to sort out the division, and lots of other fun bits to look forward to.

Kyoji Horiguchi (28-2) went from a very good flyweight that had some good but not particularly memorable performances in the UFC’s flyweight division before losing by decision all-time great Demetrious Johnson. Three more wins after that and he was released from his contract and had to ply his trade elsewhere.
