Manel Kape Stops Kyoji Horiguchi in Round Three to Extend KO Streak to Four

Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi by knockout in the third round in one of the most technically compelling flyweight bouts in recent memory. Horiguchi controlled the first two rounds with his speed and footwork, repeatedly landing the left hook on the move and dominating the grappling exchanges, but he lingered too long after a combination in the third and was caught and finished by Kape. The win extends Kape's knockout streak to four straight and gives him the outright record for most knockouts in UFC flyweight history at five. The result opens the door for a title shot, with a potential clash between Kape and a top contender now on the horizon.
