This is a live blog for Manel Kape versus Asu Almabayev, the flyweight headliner for Saturday’s UFC Vegas 103 fight card at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Kape enters his first UFC main event after a standout performance against Bruno Silva at UFC Tampa in December, where he finished his ranked opponent in the third round. Before that, the former RIZIN champion experienced a controversial decision loss to Muhammad Mokaev at UFC 304 this past July, which ended a four-fight winning streak.
Almabayev is also stepping into his first promotional main event, aiming to extend his impressive winning streak to 18 consecutive fights. Currently 4-0 in the UFC, the Kazakhstan fighter seeks his fourth victory in under a year, having gone 3-0 in 2024 with wins over CJ Vergara, Jose Johnson, and Matheus Nicolau.
