No way in hell I’m getting excited for a Manel Kape fight 3 months out.

How many Bruno Silva's are there?

Going from middleweight to flyweight is crazy...

Christian Bale did it, Bruno can too!

 

[Khaosan]

Hopefully Bruno KTFOs him right off the roster.

Durden was fucking Silva up on the feet until Bruno landed that picture-perfect uppercut. Kape may not present the same sort of takedown threat that Durden does, but he's like a thousand times faster and a waaaaaaaaaaay slicker striker with just as much power.

This is a massive step up in competition for the Brazilian and I don't think he clears the hurdle. His only chance would be to offensively outgrapple Kape or land a big KO blow, but I don't see either of those happening. Silva is a decent grappler, but Mokaev struggled to take Kape down and hold him down with any degree of regularity and Manel hasn't been submitted since 2017 back when he was in RIZIN. As far as outstriking him... well, see above. He'd have to fight a perfect gameplan blending his power-striking and offensive grappling together in a way that lulls Manel into a low-output staring contest in order to have any hope of winning.

I think Starboy keeps it standing long enough to tune Bruno up bad on the feet and quite possibly finishes him.

Who wins?:
○ Weight Miss

I just realized that if you switch the last 2 letters of Manel and add a T at the end it spells "Manlet".

I hope Kape loses and gets cut, the guy is always super aggressive at the weigh ins and stuff but then throws 4 strikes a round.

I was kind of excited when he made his debut because he was crushing people in Japan but his performances have been very underwhelming.

Bruno Silva is fun, his aggression should make this an entertaining scrap, IMO.

We all know what Manel Kape's about, and he's rightfully getting flack for his boring performances - but I don't think this will be one.

On the downside, Bruno Silva is just so inactive, and Kape hasn't been at all reliable lately.

If we get there with the fight intact, I'll be looking forward to it!

That's a serious cut lol

I don't think Kape has much trouble with him, probably gets a late TKO.

I immediately thought of the one who got 1-2 eye poked by Weidman

That's a serious cut lol

More serious than Irene Aldana's cut against Dumont

 

[filthybliss]

I've been a Kape fan ever since he pwnded Izzy.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I need Bruno to win in order to stand a chance at the game.
