Again falls as favorite
Kinoshita lost to Billy Goff via TKO (punches) at 3:49 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
It's not quite as bad as Kinoshita's knockout loss to Adam Fugitt as a -345 favorite this past February, but it's not great. He got cracked with a body shot from Goff, which seemed to shut everything down on the spot. Goff took full advantage, quickly following up and earning the stoppage. Kinoshita earned his UFC opportunity with a knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series last August, but he's been stopped in each of his first two official fights with the company. The lone good news is that he just turned 23 years of age, so there's still theoretical long-term upside here.

Next fight set
Kinoshita will take on Billy Goff in a welterweight bout at UFC Singapore on Aug. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Kinoshita is coming off a tough loss in his UFC debut, falling in the first round to Adam Fugitt despite being a massive favorite. He'll look to record his first UFC win against Billy Goff, who will be making his UFC debut after most recently fighting in the contender series.

Routed as massive favorite
Kinoshita lost to Adam Fugitt via TKO (elbows) at 4:36 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Entering as a -345 favorite and facing an opponent that was knocked out and not the least bit competitive in his UFC debut, Kinoshita was demolished. He gave up four takedowns and appeared to be constantly on the defensive throughout the duration of the brief bout. Kinoshita earned his UFC opportunity with a knockout win over Jose Souza on Dana White's Contender Series last August, but this performance proved that the 22-year-old has a ways to go. The good news is that Kinoshita is so young that he has plenty of runway ahead of him to make needed adjustments.
