It was not a great night for Bellator and RIZIN bantamweight champion Kyoji Horiguchi last night.
Horiguchi took on Kai Asakura at RIZIN 18 from Japan. However, the matchup was a non-title contest. Even so, Asakura shocked those in attendance when he stunned Horiguchi with a shot, dropping him to the canvas. Horiguchi was able to survive the initial onslaught but was subsequently knocked out after Asakura connected on another clean shot.

Horiguchi was on a 13-fight win streak before being finished by Asakura. He hadn’t lost since his submission defeat to Demetrious Johnson back in 2015 when they met under the UFC banner.
