Kyoji Horiguchi didn’t waste any time in his last fight and he’ll be return to competition nearly as quickly.
The rising Japanese star will take on countryman Hiromasa Ogikubo at Rizin FF 11 on July 29 at Saitama Super Arena, the promotion announced Wednesday. The bout will be contested at 60kg (132 pounds).
Horiguchi (24-2) is coming off a nine-second knockout of fellow UFC veteran Ian McCall in the main event of Rizin 10 earlier this month. The former UFC flyweight title challenger has not lost since he fell in that fight to Demetrious Johnson at UFC 186 in 2015.
