Manel Kape enters UFC Vegas 119 on a two-fight finish streak via KO/TKO. He is tied for the most wins by KO/TKO in UFC flyweight history with five, making his upcoming bout a chance to claim that record outright.
Manel Kape arrives at UFC Vegas 119 with a piece of history already in his grasp — and a chance to own it outright.
The Angolan flyweight enters the event riding a two-fight finish streak by knockout or technical knockout, and those victories have drawn him level with the all-time record for KO/TKO wins in the UFC flyweight division. Kape's five stoppages by striking tie him for the most in divisional history, meaning a finish this weekend would give him the record to himself.
Ranked sixth in the flyweight division, Kape carries a professional record of 23 wins and 7 losses. The 32-year-old southpaw, who trains out of Xtreme Couture, stands five-foot-five with a 68-inch reach. His offensive output backs up the knockout reputation: he lands 4.68 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 55 percent, numbers that place him among the more precise and active strikers in the 125-pound weight class.
Why it matters
- A finish at UFC Vegas 119 would give Kape sole ownership of the all-time flyweight KO/TKO record in the UFC.
- His current two-fight KO/TKO streak signals he is in peak finishing form heading into the bout.
- Ranked sixth, a statement performance could strengthen his case for a top-five placement in the division.
