Winner: Kyoji Horiguchi

Confidence Score: 61

Kyoji Horiguchi has the edge due to his elite striking, strong takedown defense, and proven ability to compete at the highest level for many years. He boasts a significant striking accuracy (47%) and defense (63%), and his takedown defense (55%) is adequate to avoid extended grappling exchanges with Amir Albazi. While Albazi is a dangerous submission artist with 9 submission wins and a strong first-round finishing rate, his striking accuracy (35%) lags behind Horiguchi's, and he absorbs more damage on the feet. Horiguchi's recent submission win over Tagir Ulanbekov—who is stylistically similar to Albazi—demonstrates his ability to handle high-level grapplers. Both fighters are in their early-to-mid 30s, but Horiguchi's experience, striking edge, and ability to avoid submissions make him the more likely winner in a high-paced flyweight bout. Historical data also indicates that fighters with Horiguchi's profile (age, reach, striking defense, and finishing ability) have a slightly higher win rate in similar matchups.
