Next weekend, Kyoji Horiguchi will return to the RIZIN and hopes to close out the new year having won the RIZIN Bantamweight Grand-Prix.
Boasting a fantastic record of 20-2, the former UFC title-challenger will take on undefeated Brazilian; Gabriel Oliveira on December 29. The winner will move on to December 31 to compete in the tournament semi-finals and could potentially compete in the finals that same night.
After a successful RIZIN Fighting Federation debut against Yuki Motoya, Horiguchi moved up to bantamweight to join the sixteen-man tournament.
