Kape stopped Asu Almabayev in the main event of UFC Fight Night 253, putting him on a two-fight winning streak and 6-1 in his past seven. Should Kape get the next shot at champion Alexandre Pantoja ?

UFC Fight Night 253 results: Manel Kape swarms Asu Almabayev, calls for flyweight title shot

BAD MMA News — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 03:01:45 +0000

Manel Kape dominated in the UFC Fight Night 253 main event, but if you ask Asu Almabayev, the finish was not without controversy. The flyweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas saw Kape (21-7 MMA, 7-3 UFC) excel at every turn, but Almabayev (21-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) was unable to get the referee’s attention to address a potential eye poke. As a result, Kape kept fighting to record a TKO stoppage at 2:16 of Round 3. To start the fight, Kape quickly took control of the center of the octagon and patiently applied forward pressure
