The UFC returns to the Meta Apex in Las Vegas for UFC Vegas 119. The principle occasion encompasses a potential flyweight title eliminator between Kyoji Horiguchi and Manel Kape. This marks their second MMA assembly and their first underneath the UFC banner. The final time the 2 flyweights met was in 2017 underneath the RIZIN banner, the place “Karate Child” submitted “StarBoy” with an arm-triangle choke.
Manel Kape is at present using a three-fight win streak, with all of these victories coming by knockout. In his final bout, he knocked out Brandon Royval in Spherical 1.
Kyoji Horiguchi, then again, has racked up two back-to-back wins after returning to the UFC in late 2025.
A win tonight at UFC Vegas 119 may earn Horiguchi a title shot. He has already said that he could be prepared to face his teammate, Alexandre Pantoja, and believes Pantoja will quickly dethrone the reigning UFC flyweight champion, Joshua Van.
The co-main occasion of UFC Vegas 119 encompasses a gentle heavyweight contest between Ion Cuțelaba and the undefeated Kiwi Navajo Stirling.
