We think he will use his experience and karate-style offence to help him overcome the challenge of Albazi. The 14-month layoff following a defeat may not do him any favours in this one against a man who has six consecutive wins.</p> <p>We do think there is value in the fight going the distance, as we highlighted above. Albazi has shown toughness inside the Octagon, while Horiguchi has required victories by this method five times in his eight UFC fights.
