Flyweight Manel Kape continues successful run at UFC Fight Night

Flyweight Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi via TKO at 2:42 of the third round in the UFC Fight Night main event in Las Vegas on Saturday, earning his fourth consecutive victory and improving his record to 23-7 in MMA. The win avenged a submission loss to Horiguchi from a 2017 RIZIN bout, and positions Kape as a potential title contender against flyweight champion Joshua Van.
