Kyoji Horiguchi signs with RIZIN to face Yuki Motoya in April

After recently declining a contract offer from the UFC, #3 ranked flyweight contender in the world Kyoji Horiguchi did not last very long while on the market.

After meeting with Scott Coker and Bellator MMA at the Bellator 172 show in San Jose on Saturday, it was confirmed just a couple days later that Japanese flyweight Kyoji Horiguchi signed with Japanese-based RIZIN Fighting Federation.

In his debut, Horiguchi will reportedly face DEEP champion Yuki Motoya.
