Hailing from Japan, Kyoji Horiguchi established himself as a prominent international talent by securing championship titles across Rizin, Shooto, and Bellator. A skilled striker rooted in Shotokan Karate, he has split his professional journey between the bantamweight and flyweight divisions. After an early run with the UFC concluded in 2016, he became a major force in the global MMA landscape. He eventually made his way back to the UFC roster in 2025 to represent the American Top Team, bringing his extensive championship experience to the organization once again.
Horiguchi enters UFC Freedom 250 carrying a career record of 36-5-0 with one no contest. His recent momentum features five consecutive victories. Following a submission win against Makoto Takahashi, he defeated Sergio Pettis, Nkazimulo Zulu, Tagir Ulanbekov, and Amir Albazi.
