The UFC transitions back home to Las Vegas with a UFC Fight Night event from the Meta APEX headlined by a five-round non-title flyweight rematch between Manel Kape and Kyoji Horiguchi. Their first meeting took place in Dec. 2017, with Horiguchi earning a head-and-arm choke in RIZIN.Since the first matchup, Kape has transitioned to the UFC and enters the rematch with a 7-3 record since his debut in Feb. 2021. Kape has won his last three fights, ending the ESPN era on a high note with a TKO win against Brandon Royval last December to remain in the title picture.Meanwhile, Horiguchi is 2-0 in the UFC since returning to the promotion last November. Horiguchi previously competed in the UFC over a decade ago and fell short of a championship against then-champion Demetrious Johnson at UFC 186 in 2015. Following his first UFC run, Horiguchi went 14-1 in RIZIN and 2-2 in Bellator before his eventual Octagon resurgence.Manel Kape Attemps To Exact Revenge During UFC Vegas 119(Zuffa LLC)Leading up to the fight, Kape said he is in a better mental state for the rematch and wants to leave no doubt this time around."I was a fearless young kid with a lot of talent," Kape told reporters regarding the first fight.

One thing I can tell right now, I'm the side A and he's the side B."Horiguchi disagrees, of course."Of course I want to get a big win and finish him," Horiguchi said. "But fight is a fight. Sometimes it's hard. I will get the win."With the current logjam at flyweight and uncertainty around when former champion Alexandre Pantoja will be 100 percent for a potential rematch with UFC Flyweight Champion Joshua Van, Horiguchi recognizes that the time to capitalize on his potential No. 1 contender status is now."First I will beat Kape, then next, I don't know who is the champion at that time, but after that I will get the belt," Horiguchi said.
