News Muhammad Mokaev vs Manel Kape official for UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27

[BoxerMaurits]

Credible sources told me last week.

Very interesting matchup


UPDATE:

Official!

 

[OldBoy91]

Good fight. Kape is the first guy with real KO power that Mokaev will have fought.

That being said, I think his pace and relentless pressure will see him through the test and he'll go on to fight for the belt.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Nice on paper, but pullout seems possible.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Kape is a pullout merchant. I won't believe it until they both walk into the cage.

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Kape vs. Erceg is the fight to make

Kape is a pullout merchant. I won't believe it until they both walk into the cage.

Not really. He’s technically only actually pulled out of the Nicolau fight recently. Unless you want to count the weight miss where his opponent declined and his drug test issue as pull outs. Bontorin x2, Pantoja, Perez, Figuieredo, and KKF have all pulled out against him though.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Huge fight if it happens

 

[Fatback96]

This fight feels like it’s prime to be a stinker. Both guys are susceptible to be slow paced and low output, just in different ways.

 

[sonhow]

I think Kape may win if he makes it into the fight.

 

[McGeezle]

I've just never been able to care about flyweight despite bantamweight being my favourite division

EDIT:

Kape’s team tells me it’s not official yet.
They say it’s verbally agreed, not signed.

 

[Jose Beehive]

Very exciting, yet another banger to add to the card I really can't imagine happening when scheduled.

 

[xhaydenx]

If Nicolau can get Kape down then surely Mokaev will as well.

 

[Khaosan]

Double knockout please.

 

[markys00]

Lol it's never official with kape until he's announced in the cage

 

[CieloLuce]

Kape better start that weight cut transition. Don't wanna see him pull out again.

 

[RockyLockridge]

rooting for kape

 

[Gabe]

Two pretty unlikeable fighters. Will root for Mokaev because I respect his activity. Kape talked all that shit just to miss weight.

 

[Uber_Noober]

My prediction; Kape misses weight and calls out some LHW on the card

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Kai continues to duck Kape.

This is a much better matchup anyways.
