UFC Champion Van Reacts to Kape's Challenge

The reigning UFC flyweight champion, Joshua Van, is ready to make his first title defense against Manel Kape, who previously challenged him.

Joshua Van
Houston TX, @ManelKape. Let’s run it! Talk is cheap.

Van last fought Alexandre Pantoja on December 7th in the co-main event of UFC 323 in Las Vegas, USA. Joshua won that fight via technical knockout in the first round after the Brazilian could not continue the fight due to an injury. This victory earned the fighter from Myanmar the UFC flyweight championship belt. His record is 16 wins and two losses.

Kape last stepped into the octagon against Brandon Royval in December of this year at UFC Vegas 112. That fight ended in Manel’s favor via knockout in the first round. His record is 22 wins and seven losses.
