Kape stops Horiguchi in round three for fourth straight UFC flyweight KO

Manel Kape secured his fourth consecutive knockout in the UFC flyweight division by stopping Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round. Horiguchi had controlled the first two rounds, repeatedly beating Kape to the punch and mixing in grappling, but made a critical mistake by lingering at close range after a combination, allowing Kape to land a decisive counter. The finish gives Kape the UFC flyweight record for most knockouts in divisional history with five, and sets up a potential blockbuster matchup against Joshua Van.
