Kape Earns Record Fifth Flyweight KO; Analysis Reveals How He Stopped Horiguchi

June 21, 2026

Quick read

Manel Kape's third-round finish of Kyoji Horiguchi gave him five knockout victories in UFC flyweight history, the most of any fighter in the division. Horiguchi had dominated the first two rounds with his signature in-and-out movement and a left hook that stunned Kape, but he lingered after a combination in round three and was caught flush. Kape switched from southpaw to orthodox just before landing the decisive shot. The next logical flyweight matchup is seen as Kape against Brandon Royval, a clash of two high-output aggressive fighters.
