Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Asu Almabayev Set for UFC Qatar on November 21

A high-stakes flyweight matchup has been confirmed for the upcoming UFC Qatar event scheduled for November 21. Kyoji Horiguchi is set to face Asu Almabayev in a bout that carries significant weight in the competitive 125-pound division. The announcement comes on the heels of major shifts in the flyweight landscape following UFC 331, where Joshua Van successfully defended his position at the top of the division with a decision victory over Alexandre Pantoja. With Van currently slated for a potential title defense against Manel Kape, the division remains highly active. The addition of Horiguchi and Almabayev provides further clarity to the division’s rankings and title picture. Both fighters will look to secure a statement win as the division continues to evolve under the current championship regime.
