Horiguchi listening to Caldwell's coach was the funniest thing ever to me. You could even see him smile partway through since Caldwell stopped playing neutral and just started listening to his coach.
It was all about fighting a guy that was trying to play it safe. Caldwell was stalling the clock witha "Dominant position" but that alone, with No Advancement of said position is nothing in a fight.. The reff let them stay on the ground Way too long. .So I guess we could say that Horiguchi still preformed well enough to win with his ass on the mat and back against the cage..XD

what did Darrion expect when he just laid on him and didn't do any damage from round 2-5. Darrion needs to move up in weight , the cut has to drain him. Leave 135 for the shorter smaller guys. I bet Darrion walks around at 170 , it's stupid to cut that much to fight smaller guys
Top position most of the round should win the round 🤷🏽♂️ but the crowd was against him which influence the judges. Never leave it in the judges hand 🤦🏽♂️

@@seanhickey1999 at the time, Kyoji was pretty young and up and coming. DJ was in his absolute prime and nobody could touch him. Not saying Kyoji won that fight if not for the last minute sub, but that he was showing DJ up better than anyone else in the UFC could do at the time. I was really impressed at how good Kyoji was at the standup in comparison to DJ because he made it competitive against DJ while everyone else usually lost pretty easily. It was too bad that UFC didn't keep him longer or Kyoji decided to go elsewhere. It's pretty clear that Kyoji was a special talent even back then in his loss to DJ.
It's crazy Caldwell wouldn't let up his grip at all to try to land any strikes but uh...what's also crazy is he was doing his best work on the feet but seemed deathly determined to not fight there
With the huge height and size advantage, Caldwell is an old fighter so even when he got his opponent down there's not much going on other than just giving Horiguchi a hug. That's not enough to win any fight. LOL
Horiguchi is special when it comes to fighting on the outside. It's fascinating how he makes a much taller and longer opponents to forget about their advantages. Another thing is, he uses his karate on the outside, but when he's in the pocket, he turns into a boxer with good head movement. If you look at his Rizin fights, you can notice that even grapplers who thought about out-grappling him changed their minds when he beat them in their own game. In short, I would put Kyoji somewhere in the top 3 of bantamweight division across all promotions EASILY.
I love these videos, but the crowd noises e.g. that woman laying an egg make them virtually unwatchable! @bellatormma please give us a commentary only version 🙏
It's crazy how much he improved during those years. Horiguchi was dangerous when he was a young kid. Now he's a straight up killer that can finish a fight in whatever way he wants. I would be very surprised if Pettis would win.

堀口はスタイル的にケージの方が強い。
ただどの場面でもスタイルを変えれる適応力がある。それは、打撃や寝技、スピード、距離感全てにおいて優れてるから。
間違いねぇす！
広いほうがやりやすそうに見えますね
Love that he can just walk in to a promotion and take the crown. Against a much bigger guy, too. Boss
They weigh exactly the same...

I think Horiguchi can be ranked 1st or 2nd in the UFC bantamweight. What he should do is compete with tougher opponents and fight more often.
he is a great fighter, but against ufc best bantamweights I don’t believe so
@@iminsideyou2717 I believe he only lost twice in the ufc. And one of those lose was to Dj

Yeah =) Horiguchi is so good everywhere and scaled up he would be far too good for many

I think Horiguchi’s record should have one less loss. I thought he beat Tenshin Nasukawa. He has a lot of class in winning and in defeat. Very humble.
The tenshin fight should’ve went to 4 rounds but kickboxing doesn’t do that unless it’s a 5 round title fight.

また、きちんとジャッジしてくれるUFCも素晴らしい！今後の活躍も楽しみにして居ます。
