Alexander Lee UFCs bantamweights

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Horiguchi was asked how he feels he stacks up against UFC stars Petr Yan, Aljamain Sterling, and T.J. Dillashaw and his response was definitive.

“It’s the same weight class, so of course, I’m better than them,” Horiguchi said.

“Let’s go,” he added when considering the possibility of the aforementioned fighters coming to Bellator. “I want it. Yeah.”

I'm sure Yan, Sterling and TJ will be signing for Bellator very soon.

Maybe he can get a fight with Eddie Wineland soon though.

UFC fucked up letting Horiguchi go.

UFC fucked up letting Horiguchi go.

They didn't let him go, he wanted to leave to be a star in Japan rather than another dude on a crowded UFC roster.

And they let him leave

And they let him leave

I don't think they're allowed to keep him at gunpoint though.

UFC fucked up letting Horiguchi go.

He left and to be fair at the time Demetrious was going to stay at top for a while so when he probably demanded cash they let him go. It's crazy that he was 25 when he fought Demetrious and and a decent fight with him.

I think he needs to smash Pettis to really have leverage since we know how Pettis stacks up with the UFC fighters. Not that Pettis is bad but would be having win-loses if he kept fighting top guys in the UFC like he was before being let go.

Only if he was a champion

I think it was a bit much too soon when Kyoji went up against DJ at the time, I would've liked to have seen him have a few more fights before the title shot. Even at 25 he did give DJ a decent fight as you stated.
