Manel Kape aims to break Derrick Lewis' knockout record in UFC

Manel Kape achieved a milestone by becoming the flyweight with the most knockout wins after defeating Kyoji Horiguchi by third-round TKO at UFC Fight Night 279 in Las Vegas. With this victory, Kape now holds the record for most striking finishes at 125 pounds, surpassing Joseph Benavidez. Kape, however, aspires to claim the overall UFC knockout record, currently held by Derrick Lewis with 16 knockouts. He expressed confidence in achieving 11 more knockouts to surpass Lewis, although he acknowledges the gap given his current total of six. Kape's next steps will be crucial as he seeks to solidify his position at the top.
