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

Manel Kape knocked out Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round, extending his knockout streak to four consecutive finishes and claiming the all-time record for knockouts in the UFC flyweight division with five. Horiguchi had dominated the first two rounds, repeatedly stunning Kape with his signature combination off a quick distance close, but a momentary lapse — hesitating after a double to land an extra left hook — allowed Kape to counter and finish him. The loss is a painful one for Horiguchi, who many believe still operates at a level deserving a title shot.
