Manel is a beast, dude is going to be in contention anyway.

Just because Kape is debuting doesn't mean he's a scrub.

Also, Gilbert Melendez fought for the title in his UFC debut years ago.

Joe Soto too back when the bathtub claimed Baraos soul.

Maybe is a very risky move, but this guy is something else, hope we get a good mach

 

[RicardinhoPT]

Vamos Manel!

Figgy will 100% fight at BW very soon because Cutting to 125 is brutal for him

How did the UFC kill its now very exciting division? By making it exciting?

I'm fcking down for Yan vs Figgy

 

[sonhow]

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Kape beat Fig. Even in his debut.

All of the people who only watch the UFC are going to be scratching their heads at this but, Manel Kape is one of the best fighters in the world at 135 lbs (or Rizin's Bantamweight which is 134.5).

I know he's fought at closer to 125, I feel he looks better at the 134 mark but, he is a really good fighter nonetheless. The UFC did great by signing him, he has a really fan friendly style as well so he should be a nice and welcomed addition to the division.

I know it would fuck up Rizin a bunch, but I'd love to see Kai Asakura in the UFC as well, not to mention Gooch, who I think is on equal footing with DJ and Henry (or as close to those 2 as you'll get)

I wish the 125 axing had gone as planned and he'd be 3-4 fights deep in bw.

 

[Nihongi]

Meh, his antics before the Uncle Creepy fight showed he’s bit of a prick, it was good to see Gooch humble him. Wish him luck in his UFC career.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

If Figgy misses weight, it would be ridiculous to strip him. He's trying to do the ufc a favor by cutting weight on 20 days notice & he JUST defended his belt.

Hopefully everything goes according to plan and Kape isnt needed but this could get weird.

 

[azerty]

that's fine if it's moreno who have to pull out, but if it's fig...manel kape vs brandon moreno for no title isn't much of a plan B for a PPV main event
