At UFC on ESPN 63, Kape (19-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) returns to the octagon for the second time in 2024, looking to return to the win column against Bruno Silva. It’s the lone men’s flyweight fight on the card, and “Starboy” believes it will be the most exciting fight of the event.

Muhammad Mokaev didn’t take kindly to the comments his former opponent Manel Kape made about him ahead of UFC Tampa. Undefeated in his professional and amateur mixed martial arts careers, Mokaev debuted with the UFC in 2022 and collected seven wins before he defeated Kape via unanimous decision in what many fans thought could be a flyweight title eliminator at UFC 304.
