Manel Kape, often regarded as “Starboy,” was all set to face Kai Kara-France. However, Kara-France had to withdraw from the fight because he was forced to do so due to a concussion he suffered during training. Even though Kara-France’s withdrawal was justified, Kape showed no sympathy for him and instead hurled abuses at him, which led Israel Adesanya to step in and defend his friend.

During Thursday’s UFC 293 press conference, Kara-France found himself in the midst of a heated exchange with Kape, who didn’t hold back with his strong words. This led to middleweight champion Adesanya stepping in to defuse the situation. The tension escalated when Kape hurled water bottles at Kara-France, sparking the altercation.
