Manel Kape has suffered yet one more canceled combat.
UFC Vegas 91’s principal occasion has modified, as introduced by the promotion at the moment (Tues., April 2, 2024). Kape has been faraway from his rematch in opposition to Matheus Nicolau (19-4-1) on April 27, 2024. Stepping in to switch Kape can be one-time Flyweight title challenger, Alex Perez (24-8).
The cancelation is the ninth time in Kape’s three-year UFC tenure that he’s misplaced out on a bout. Six of which have been on his opponent’s finish. No cause has been disclosed for the withdrawal.
Perez, 32, will enter the match up hoping to snap a three-fight dropping skid. He final fought Muhammed Mokaev when he dropped a aggressive unanimous determination in March 2024.
Nicolau, alternatively, hasn’t fought in over one 12 months. A tricky first spherical knockout in opposition to Brandon Royval was the results of Nicolau’s final outing in April 2023. The loss snapped a six-fight successful streak.
