The UFC flyweight division is in need of a title contender for champion Alexandre Pantoja, and top contender Manel Kape thinks he’s the right man for the job.
Kape picked up a second straight win and put himself at 6-1 in his past seven bouts, stopping Asu Almabayev this past Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 253 in Las Vegas. It was a big win for Kape, who not only called for his shot at the 125-pound belt, but also said the division needs him as champion if it wants to up its entertainment and drawing power.
Should Kape be next in challenging Pantoja? What are his chances of dethroning the champion? Can he be a star in the division if he were to win the belt?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King, Dan Tom, and host Gorgeous George discuss Kape’s latest victory and where that puts him in the title picture at flyweight.
