""I don't know if it was ring rust, but I definitely think I underperformed that fight, and I never got to show Amir Albazi, the real Amir Albazi, The original Amir Albazi. So I'm happy to be here to finally be able to show people that this is the real Amir Albazi, this is the problem in the division. I can't wait to show you guys on Saturday.""
""I've always, always been a bully whenever I go into the cage. I'm a nice guy outside, but whenever I go into the cage, I'm looking to damage people, I'm looking to bring violence. I'm looking to make violence nice again. I always bring that to the table, and I feel like that was lacking in the Moreno fight.""
Amir Albazi returns to action for the first time since a November 2024 loss to Brandon Moreno when he faces Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC Vegas 113 at the Meta Apex. Albazi seeks to rebound after underperforming in the Moreno fight and intends to reestablish himself as a top contender. He plans to adopt an aggressive, damaging approach in the cage that he describes as being a bully. Albazi previously missed a scheduled bout with Tatsuro Taira due to a separate undisclosed medical issue. He has undergone multiple surgeries, including one after the Kai Kara‑France fight and a heart surgery.
