Japanese mixed martial arts fighter Kyoji Horiguchi, who competes in Bellator and Rizin said he is ready to return to the UFC to win the flyweight title there.

Yahoo Japan quoted Horiguchi as saying:

I really want to win the [UFC] belt, that’s all I’m thinking about. I’ve checked with my manager about that [release], but I haven’t heard anything yet. So, there’s a lot of uncertainty around that, so I’d like to go through the formalities to go to the UFC as soon as I figure that out. I’m still under contract with Bellator, but I can’t help but clearly state the name of the UFC.

Recall, Horiguchi left the UFC at the end of 2016. Since then, he fought in Bellator and Rizin, and became champion in both leagues.

Kyoji last fought in December 2023 at Rizin 45, where he defeated Makoto Takahashi by second-round submission. He has a total of 32 wins and five losses.
