Combat Profile

Kyoji Horiguchi, often called "The King of Cobra," is a highly technical striker with a background in Kyokushin karate and Shooto. Training with Kill Cliff FC, he possesses blinding hand speed and sharp boxing that has made him a champion in both RIZIN and Bellator. His ability to mix in takedowns with his striking makes him a dual-threat nightmare for anyone in the Flyweight division.

Tactical Advantage

He dominates fighters who cannot match his rapid tempo and precise striking accuracy, often outpointing opponents with volume. Horiguchi utilizes his karate stance to create angles for his boxing, allowing him to exploit gaps in the defense of slower plodders. His wrestling prowess also serves as a key tool to neutralize high-level grapplers who might otherwise hold an advantage on the mat.
