Demetrious Johnson doesn’t see Kyoji Horiguchi being the one to dethrone UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja . Horiguchi (34-5 MMA, 7-1 UFC) has re-signed with the UFC after vacating his RIZIN flyweight title. The former UFC 125-pound title challenger, former Bellator champ and former RIZIN champion will return to the octagon for the first time since November 2016. After failing in his first UFC title bid against Johnson in 2015 , Horiguchi hopes he can become the first Japanese UFC champ. However, with Pantoja at the top, Johnson doesn’t think Horiguchi can beat him.
