COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – Kyoji Horiguchi is looking to do something unprecedented in MMA by defending titles from two major organizations simultaneously.

Horiguchi’s (26-2) most recent fight saw him submit Bellator bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell (13-2) with a third-round choke at Rizin FF 14 in December to claim the inaugural Rizin FF title.

Prior to the cross-promotion matchup, an agreement was put in place that if Horiguchi won, he would rematch Caldwell for his belt under the Bellator banner. According to Horiguchi, that rematch is in the works for this summer.

“I’m very comfortable and maybe June, July we’ll have a rematch,” Horiguchi told MMA Junkie. “I think I need one more win.”

Before he can focus completely on running it back with Caldwell, Horiguchi first has a fight with Ben Nguyen (16-8) at Rizin FF 15 on April 21 in Japan. He’ll be heavily favored against his fellow UFC vet, and a win would push his streak to a dozen fights.

That would give Horiguchi a lot of momentum going into his second showdown with Caldwell, which has the potential to be very different from the first bout.

Horiguchi has not fought in North America since coming up short in a UFC title fight with then-champ Demetrious Johnson at UFC 186 in April 2015. Bellator fights also take place in a cage opposed to a ring, but none of this is of concern to Horiguchi, he said. The only difference he expects is the one that comes with Caldwell’s strategy.

“It’s not different,” Horiguchi said. “Training the same, everything is the same. … I think (it will be a) different fight because I use the choke and he remembers.”

If Horiguchi manages to defeat Caldwell once again, he said he likes the idea of keeping both belts and maintaining a busy schedule where he can defend each of them. Whether the Rizin FF and Bellator brass ultimately allow him to do that remains to be seen, but Horiguchi said he’s “very excited” by the possibility.

Ultimately, though, Rizin FF is Horiguchi’s home, and he said he’s eager to get back to work for the company next month for the bout with Nguyen.

“I very enjoy (being with Rizin FF) because more good marketing and everybody excited,” Horiguchi said. “My family (sees me), I like to fight for Rizin.”
