Get ready for an action-packed UFC event that's shaping up to be a real thriller! The UFC's Apex event in 2026 is heating up with some exciting match-ups announced.
Leading the charge is the highly anticipated co-main event at UFC Vegas 113, where Kyoji Horiguchi, a former flyweight title contender, will face off against Amir Albazi in a battle that's sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats. But here's where it gets interesting: Horiguchi, a former Rizin champion, has been on an impressive winning streak since September 2022, with seven consecutive victories. Meanwhile, Albazi, known as "The Prince," has an impressive record of 17 wins out of 19 appearances since his pro debut in 2009. However, his last outing saw a setback as he lost a five-round decision to Brandon Moreno.
And this is the part most people miss: Horiguchi's return to the UFC after a six-year hiatus has been nothing short of spectacular. He made a statement with a third-round submission victory over Tagir Ulanbekov at UFC Qatar, showcasing his skills and determination. With his impressive record and a fresh start, Horiguchi is a force to be reckoned with.
But wait, there's more! The card for UFC Vegas 113 also features a bantamweight showdown between Mario Bautista and Vinicius Oliveira, which will serve as the main event. Additionally, there are four other intriguing bouts lined up:
- Ryan Spann vs. Rizvan Kuniev at heavyweight
- Michal Oleksiejczuk vs. Marc-Andre Barriault at middleweight
- Jean Matsumoto vs. Farid Basharat at bantamweight
- Uran Satybaldiev vs. Julius Walker at light heavyweight
These fighters are ready to put on a show, and with the entire card airing on Paramount+, you won't want to miss a single moment.
So, who do you think will emerge victorious in these intense battles? Will Horiguchi continue his winning streak, or will Albazi bounce back from his recent loss? The answers await at UFC Vegas 113 on February 7th at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Get your popcorn ready, and let the debates begin! Who's your pick for the co-main event and why?
