We have some unfinished business. I\u2019m honored to fight [Kyoji Horiguchi] and prove I\u2019m the best fighter in the division.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Both Horiguchi and McCall were entrants in the 2017 Rizin Bantamweight Grand Prix. Unfortunately, McCall was eliminated in the first round, suffering<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ian-mccall\/full-fight-ian-mccall-lost-unexpected-way-possible-rizin\/\"> a bizarre, ring-rope-induced injury<\/a> in a bout with <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-ian-mccall-and-manel-kape-exchange-blows-at-rizin-weigh-ins\/\">the polarizing Manel Kape<\/a>. This marked the latest SNAFU in a long string of unlucky breaks for McCall. &#8220;Uncle Creepy&#8221; has not won a fight since 2014, when he defeated Brad Pickett by decision. That said, he remains a top talent, and currently owns a 13-6-1 overall record.<\/p>\n<p>Horiguchi, meanwhile, realized much more favorable results in the bantamweight Grand Prix, knockout out\u00a0Hideo Tokoro and Gabriel Oliveira and submitting Manel Kape to earn a spot in the finals, and knocking out\u00a0Shintaro Ishiwatari to win the whole shebang. The Norifumi &#8220;Kid&#8221; Yamamoto protege and current American Top Team staple has not lost a fight since he came up short to UFC flyweight champion Demetrious &#8220;Mighty Mouse&#8221; Johnson in April of 2015.
