Manel
Kape will lock horns with Bruno Silva
at UFC
on ESPN 63.
Ag.Fight was first to report the flyweight pairing.
UFC on ESPN 63 takes place on Dec. 14 at Amalie Arena in Tampa,
Florida, and also includes a strawweight rematch between Mackenzie
Dern and Amanda
Ribas. A headliner has not been confirmed for the card.
Kape last appeared at UFC
304, where he suffered a unanimous decison loss to Muhammad
Mokaev on July 27. That snapped a four-bout promotional winning
streak for the ex-Rizin
Fighting Federation bantamweight king.
After going winless in his first three UFC bouts, Silva has emerged
as a person of interest in the flyweight division thanks to a
four-fight finishing streak. In his last outing, “Bulldog” scored a
second-round TKO of Cody Durden
at UFC
on ESPN 60 on July 20.
