The UFC’s flyweight division might see another champion in the near future. Manel Kape could soon take over the division. He is extremely confident about this.

The Portuguese fighter was recently seen fighting against Zhalgas Zhumagulov at UFC Vegas 44. Kape succeeded in knocking out his opponent. In fact, it seems Kape believes in finishing his opponents because out of 17 MMA wins, 11 were through TKO. He has just won one fight via decision. Thus, he is one fighter who can successfully knock out or submit his opponents.

His tendency to finish his opponents leaves no room for argument. He has the potential to become the next flyweight champion. During his after-fight interview at UFC Vegas 44, he spoke about his success. He also spoke about his future aspirations as a fighter.

Kape said, “Two fights” were enough to get to the title. He further said, “I am the biggest name in flyweight…. I’m beautiful like a champion, I talk like a champion, I dress like a champion. Nobody have my style, nobody talk like me, nobody’s more beautiful than me. So I have all the package to be a champion.”

Kape is confident about getting the title fight and fans hope to see him as the new flyweight champion. However, fighting the champion is never an easy fight. But Kape’s confidence comes from his training and from the fact that his father has been the former world champion.

What’s next for Manel Kape?

Kape has managed to give two great fights in a row. He is absolutely sure that after two more successful fights, he will get the title fight that he desires.

While his recent performances have been stunning, Kape is capable of much more. Thus, for his next fights, he might get the best fighters from the division. It would be incredibly exciting to see him fight soon.
