The UFC’s February 6 show, set to take place on ‘Fight Island’, just received a mouth-watering flyweight bout that could have serious title implications. According to Raphael Marinho of Globo, the UFC has picked that event for a rescheduled meeting between Manel Kape and Alexandre Pantoja.
This fight was supposed to happen at last week’s UFC Vegas 17: Thompson vs. Neal, but it has canceled after Pantoja withdrew for undisclosed reasons. Kape, who signed after a thrilling run in RIZIN, was supposed to make his UFC debut back at UFC 252 in August, but that was cancelled after his scheduled opponent Rogerio Bontorin withdrew with an injury.
