Kyoji Horiguchi returned to Rizin FF for the first time since December 2020, and he got a much-needed win. After suffering back-to-back losses under, former Bellator and Rizin bantamweight champ Horiguchi (30-5) went back to his native Japan for a clash with Yuto Hokamura (14-12-2) in the main event of RIZIN 38. The fight, which took place at the famous Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, saw Horiguchi forced to overcome to adversity. Hokamura knocked him down in the first round before Horiguchi got it to the ground in the second round and locked in an arm-triangle choke for the finish.
