Quick read
Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi by knockout in the third round, securing his fourth consecutive finish and moving to first place in UFC flyweight history with five knockouts in the division. Horiguchi controlled the opening two rounds with sharp counter-punching and movement, but a momentary lapse in the third — staying in range too long after landing his signature combination — allowed Kape to land a decisive right hand and finish the fight on the ground. The loss denies Horiguchi what appeared to be his best opportunity at a title shot, while Kape cements himself as the division's premier knockout threat.
