Quick read
Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi by knockout in the third round, securing his fourth consecutive finish inside the Octagon and setting the all-time record for knockouts in the flyweight division with five. Horiguchi controlled the first two rounds, repeatedly landing his signature jab-combination on the move and mixing in takedowns, but was caught and finished when he lingered in close range after a combination instead of resetting his distance. Kape is now the frontrunner for a title shot, with a matchup against Joshua Van widely regarded as the logical next step.
