Russian (RU) This is the live blog for Manel Kape vs. Kyoji Horiguchi 2, the flyweight main event for UFC Vegas 119 on Saturday at the UFC Meta APEX.
Currently ranked No. 2 in the UFC’s flyweight rankings, Kape has an opportunity to solidify a title shot and avenge a loss on Saturday when he faces Horiguchi. Kape and Horiguchi first fought in 2017 in the RIZIN bantamweight grand prix that Horiguchi went on to win, after he submitted Kape with an arm-triangle choke in the third round. Kape rebounded with plenty of success in RIZIN, but really came into his own after moving to the UFC, where he’s currently on a three-fight winning streak, and right on the cusp of fighting for the flyweight title.

A former UFC flyweight title challenger, Horiguchi left the UFC in 2017 while riding a three-fight winning streak. He spent the next eight years racking up accomplishments and titles in RIZIN and Bellator, before returning to the UFC last year, where he’s quickly put together back-to-back wins over ranked opponents. If he can beat Kape a second time, Horiguchi’s next fight will likely be for the belt.
