The bad news: Kyoji Horiguchi understandably is disappointed coming out of Bellator 272. The good news: He’s apparently in good spirits and doing OK physically. Horiguchi suffered a brutal spinning backfist knockout loss against bantamweight champion Sergio Pettis on Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The improbable finish came in Round 4 after Horiguchi was dominant in the first three rounds and clearly up 3-0 on all three judges’ scorecards. Pettis whiffed on a head kick from close range but used his momentum to throw a spinning backfist that landed flush on Horiguchi’s face and put him to sleep instantly
