Kyoji Horiguchi wants Makoto Shinryu rematch after no contest for inaugural Bellator flyweight title

Kyoji Horiguchi wants to run things back with Makoto Shinryu after their no contest at Bellator x Rizin 2.

Horiguchi’s inaugural Bellator flyweight title fight vs. Shinryu was ruled a no contest after he accidentally poked Shinryu in his right eye and rendered him unable to continue. The poke happened just 25 seconds into the first round of the Bellator x Rizin 2 co-main event Saturday at Saitama Super Arena near Tokyo.

Bellator president Scott Coker said he’d like to see the pair rematch, and Horiguchi agrees.
