Manel Kape scores fourth straight KO, finishes Horiguchi in round three

Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi by knockout in the third round, extending his finishing streak to four consecutive knockouts in the flyweight division and setting a new UFC record with five knockouts in the weight class. Horiguchi controlled the first two rounds with his speed and counter-punching but was stopped after lingering at close range and getting caught by Kape, who switched to an orthodox stance before landing the decisive shot. The win cements Kape as a legitimate title contender in the flyweight division.
