Since parting ways with the UFC after 2016, Kyoji Horiguchi has enjoyed continued success in MMA.
He went on to hold the Bellator and RIZIN bantamweight championships simultaneously until getting injured, and he is now the current (and inaugural) RIZIN flyweight champion.
With his ongoing triumphs outside of the Octagon, and given his success during his tenure with the UFC, some have wondered if Horiguchi would ever be given another shot at competing in the UFC. That question became more prominent when the fighter himself expressed interest in an Octagon comeback.
If one were to ask Horiguchi now, however, that day will never come.
In the latest episode of RIZIN Confessions, Horiguchi said he's heard the UFC has no interest in signing him. He also called the promotion out for being focused on profits more than fighters, including a lack of promotion for the UFC's flyweight division.
