RIZIN FF star Kyoji Horiguchi says Bellator rematch vs. Darrion Caldwell targeted for summer

If there’s anyone who has benefited tremendously from not re-signing with the UFC in free agency, it’s Kyoji Horiguchi.

The former UFC flyweight title challenger has been with RIZIN FF for two years, and he is a major star in Japan. In his last fight, Horiguchi extended his RIZIN run to 8-0 with a guillotine choke of current Bellator MMA champ Darrion Caldwell on New Year’s Eve.

It’s already been confirmed by Bellator president Scott Coker that a rematch clause would see Horiguchi take on Caldwell inside the Bellator cage, so when will we see it happen?
