Manel Kape and flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja had a respectful exchange after UFC Fight Night 253. Kape (21-7 MMA, 7-3 UFC) scored a TKO win over Asu Almabayev (21-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 253 main event to emerge as a title contender. “Starboy” is 6-1 in his past seven fights. Kape wants Pantoja (29-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC) next, and he got a chance to address the champion when Pantoja was called into the ESPN post-fight show .
