Capeó Stops Horiguchi in Round Three, Extends Flyweight KO Record

Marvic Capeó knocked out Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round, securing his fourth consecutive knockout in the flyweight division and setting the all-time record with five knockouts in UFC flyweight history. Horiguchi had controlled the first two rounds with his movement and timing, but was caught when he paused inside punching range rather than breaking distance after a combination. Capeó switched from southpaw to orthodox just before landing the decisive counter, finishing the fight emphatically. The result sets up calls for Capeó to face a top contender for a title shot.
