The first UFC victory of Manel Kape ended with a nod to one of the most popular athletes on earth; Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
UFC Flyweight Manel Kape has impressive highlights during his eight-Vecht Promotional Stint. The former Rizin Bantamweight Champion is a matchup nightmare at the feet, as evidenced by his most recent performance in UFC Tampa.
KAPE will be confronted in the Apex opposite Flyweight candider ASU Almabayev on UFC Vegas 102 this Saturday. He returns to the Octagon after a brutal knockout from Bruno Silva in December to return to the flying weight interview.
Before he went to the UFC, Kape was a striking artist in Rizin and she defeated people as a former title -Uitdager Kai Asakura and Takeya Mizugaki. But the start of his UFC official period was anything but easy when Kape Back-to-Back fights lost to Alexandre Pantoja and Matheus Nicolau.

Manel Kape sent shock waves through the flying weight division with a brutal flying knee
KAGE has introduced UFC 265 against Ode 'Osbourne in a must-win situation after having had two losses to start his UFC contract. It was a matchup between two elite strikers with poor speed and power for the weight class.
In the last seconds of round 1, Kape lured Osbourne forward and went against a beautifully timed flying knee to Osbourne's Kin who brought the flying weight to the flying pillar. After he had ended the fight with ground and pound, KAPE celebrated his first UFC victory by simulating the famous goal celebration of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Coincidentally, Ronaldo is an avid combat fan and has attended selection framework fights in MMA and Boxing. Ronaldo was recently Casede with UFC CEO Dana White for the UFC Saudi -Arabia Fight Night event.
The performance of Manel Kape on UFC Vegas 102 can secure Alexandre Pantoja Rematch
Kape's upcoming matchup with Almabayev comes at a time when the UFC Flyweight Division needs new potential title finances. Pantoja, who defeated Asakura in his most recent flight weight defense on UFC 310, is claimed that it will be confronted against Kai Kara-France later this year.
But from this letter nothing has been made officially with regard to the Pantoja vs. Kara-France Fight. Kape has the opportunity to possibly skip the line and secure a rematch with Pantoja with an impressive victory.
After he had eliminated Osbourne, KAPE collected a four-fight winning series for a crooked defeat against Muhammad Mokaev on UFC 304. His knockout victory over Silva immediately put him back in the title mix, while arguing for a title shot during a post- Face face-to-face with white.
If Kape deserves a knockout win this weekend, don't be surprised if he drops a celebration inspired by Ronaldo.
