Following a disappointing 25-second no contest in July, Kyoji Horiguchi settled the score in his rematch with Makoto Takahashi at Rizin Fighting Federation 45 in Saitama, Japan. Horiguchi finished Takahashi with a second-round rear-naked choke to become the inaugural Rizin flyweight champion in the night’s main event.
