Despite pleads for a shot at the flyweight crown next, Manel Kape will not get what he wants off the back of his UFC Tampa win over Brazilian contender, Bruno Silva — after finishing the latter with a third round knockout win following a stellar performance.
Recording his fifth victory in his six most recent outings, Angolan-born contender, Kape most recently took on organizational veteran, Muhammad Mokaev at UFC 304 back in July, dropping a controversial unanimous decision loss to the unbeaten Brave CF star.
And overnight, Kape, a former Rizin FF championship holder turned in another impressive performance in his return in Florida, taking out the previously mentioned, Silva in the third round of their main card clash after an impressive striking display throughout the matchup.
