Cape Stops Horiguchi in Round Three to Extend KO Streak to Four

Manel Kape knocked out Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round, recording his fourth consecutive knockout and claiming the record for most knockouts in UFC flyweight history with five. Horiguchi had dominated the first two rounds and was ahead early in the third before a momentary lapse in movement allowed Kape to land a decisive counter right hand from a switch in stance. The loss is a bitter blow for Horiguchi, who controlled large portions of the fight with speed, footwork, and a grappling advantage.
