Manel Kape is snapping back at fight fans.
Starboy’ secured another big win inside the Octagon on March 1, scoring a third-round TKO against Asu Almabayev at a Fight Night event in Las Vegas. However, the victory came with a heap of controversy after Kape appeared to poke his opponent in the eye multiple times — once in the second round and then again in the third.
Despite the foul being pretty obvious, referee Mike Beltran never once stepped in to pause the action.
Days later, Almabayev took to social media and revealed the horrific condition of his eye as a result of the egregious foul.
