MMA veteran Kyoji Horiguchi isn’t worried about possibly having to wait for a shot at the UFC flyweight championship.

When it comes to the smaller weight classes, few current fighters are as respected as Kyoji Horiguchi. In addition to his initial run in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, he also went on to have an incredible stint outside of the promotion too. Now that he’s back, he wants to really push to try and become a UFC champion, and that goal will be a lot more realistic if he can beat Amir Albazi this weekend.

Horiguchi may be in the twilight of his career in the eyes of many, but in his last outing, he still looked sharp, and he still seemed like a fighter who can cause problems for a lot of the top guys at 125 pounds.

In his pre-fight media scrum, Horiguchi had the following to say about the current log jam at the top of the flyweight division.

Horiguchi discusses possible future title shot

“I don’t give a sh*t,” Horiguchi responded with a laugh when asked at the UFC Fight Night 266 media day if he’s worried about his potential title shot being delayed.

“Of course, he can do it (Pantoja), or I get the belt fast, and then he challenges me. That’s a good story. I want to do that.”

“Which one is the strongest? Which one is the best in the world in flyweight?” Horiguchi said. “In training, it’s a little fake, that’s why I want to show everybody who’s the best.”
