Quick read
Manel Kape knocked out Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round, extending his winning streak to four consecutive knockouts and setting a flyweight record with five stoppages in UFC competition. Horiguchi had dominated the first two rounds, repeatedly beating Kape to the punch and controlling the grappling, but left himself exposed after landing his trademark combination and pausing on the inside, allowing Kape to counter with a right hand and finish with follow-up ground strikes. The defeat is a significant setback for Horiguchi, who had outclassed Kape in their first meeting eight and a half years earlier via submission.
