He won the inaugural RIZIN bantamweight championship in 2018 before vacating a year later due to injury. He\u2019d become a two-time RIZIN bantamweight champ in 2020, avenging a knockout loss to Kai Asukara.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the finish and highlights from Horiguchi vs. Masakari below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A BIG KNOCKDOWN EARLY ON FOR KINTARO\u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>\u300eSBC presents RIZIN.38\u300f<br \/>\ud83c\udf9fPPV\ud83d\udd3b<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aGDCI0iifF\">https:\/\/t.co\/aGDCI0iifF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Bz5fml8K6a\">pic.twitter.com\/Bz5fml8K6a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; RIZIN FF English (@rizin_English) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rizin_English\/status\/1573984688095592449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 25, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;He&#39;s out!
