Manel Kape is confident he’d avenge his loss to Alexandre Pantoja if they rematched. Pantoja (27-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) spoiled Kape’s (19-6 MMA, 4-2 UFC) UFC debut when he defeated him by unanimous decision in February 2021. Kape has since gone 4-1, and was on the cusp of title contention before withdrawing for a second time against Matheus Nicolau in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 241 headliner, this time due to a rib injury. “He’s not on my level,” Kape said on the “JAXXON PODCAST.” “Pantoja is not on my level, believe me. He can fight whatever style. I am a good match with him.” Kape pointed to the slippery canvas preventing him from moving as the reason why he lost to Pantoja in their first fight.
