Manel Kape stops Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC Vegas 119 in TKO victory

Manel Kape scored a third-round TKO victory over Kyoji Horiguchi in the main event of UFC Fight Night 279 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. This win marks Kape's fourth consecutive knockout and makes him the all-time knockout leader in the 125-pound division. Despite Horiguchi's strong start, Kape's performance demonstrated his resilience and determination towards obtaining the flyweight title, further fueling a potential rivalry with current champion Joshua Van. Following this victory, Kape's next steps may involve waiting for the outcome of a rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja, which is seen as necessary before Kape can challenge for the title.
