UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Horiguchi Start Time and How to Watch
Elite flyweights are gearing up to face off for the second time this Saturday, but this time it’s all going down in the legendary UFC Octagon. The main event of UFC Fight Night will feature a showdown between Manel Kape and Kyoji Horiguchi. These two athletes previously crossed paths in the 2017 Rizin Bantamweight Grand Prix semifinals. Despite having 11 more fights under his belt, Horiguchi emerged victorious, showcasing his seasoned skills with a third-round knockdown and submission.

After a successful run in his first stint with UFC, Horiguchi returned to the promotion last November with impressive wins over Tagir Ulanbekov and Amir Albazi, placing him on the cusp of a title shot and boasting a seven-fight winning streak.
On the flip side, Kape had a bit of a bumpy start in his UFC journey with two consecutive losses. However, he bounced back in grand fashion, securing seven wins in eight fights, including a current three-fight winning streak. Kape’s recent matches have been nothing short of spectacular, with three straight stoppage victories, including a knockout over top 10 contender Brandon Royval.
The event will also feature an exciting featherweight showdown between Vinicius Oliveira and Andre Fili. Oliveira kicked off the year with a strong 4-0 UFC record but hit a roadblock in January with a second-round submission loss to Mario Bautist. So, this Saturday promises to be loaded with thrilling matchups that will have fight fans on the edge of their seats.
