Manel Kape Stops Kyoji Horiguchi in Round Three for Fourth Straight KO

Manel Kape defeated Kyoji Horiguchi by knockout in the third round, extending his finishing streak to four consecutive knockouts. Horiguchi controlled the opening two rounds with his speed and combination punching, but a momentary lapse in the third — lingering inside to add an extra left hook rather than resetting — allowed Kape to counter and finish the fight. The victory gives Kape the most knockouts in UFC flyweight history at five, and he is now considered a prime title contender.
