Quick read

Manel Kape knocked out Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round of their rematch, completing a dramatic turnaround from their first meeting eight and a half years ago when Horiguchi had dominated and submitted him. Kape showed vastly improved technical precision in the rematch, weathering two rounds of Horiguchi's fast-paced counter-striking before catching the Japanese veteran with a right hand as Horiguchi lingered in range after throwing his combination. The finish gave Kape four consecutive knockouts at flyweight and made him the outright leader in knockout victories in UFC flyweight history with five.
