Quick read

Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi by knockout in the third round, recording his fourth consecutive stoppage win at flyweight and moving to the outright lead in UFC flyweight knockout history with five. Horiguchi had controlled the first two rounds, rocking Kape with a jumping left hook, but made a critical error in the third by lingering inside after his signature combination, allowing Kape to land a counter that ended the fight. The result sets up a compelling case for Kape to meet Joshua Van next, a matchup described as a collision between the flyweight division's two most prolific strikers.
