Summary

Manel Kape is performing up to the hype hardcore MMA fans had for him when he signed to the UFC, and has now finished his second consecutive ranked opponent. After stopping Asu Almabayev in the main event of UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday night at the APEX, Kape called for a title shot. Should he get it? Following the UFC's latest Fight Night event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to the fight card, Kape's impressive performance against Almabayev, the controversy surrounding a pair of uncalled eye pokes, where Kape goes from here, and if he should get a championship bout next. Additionally, he reacts to the bonus winners, the crazy war between Cody Brundage and Julian Marquez, the ceilings for surging contenders such as Chepe Mariscal and Sam Patterson, the close split decisions on the main card, Andrea Lee losing her record-setting sixth straight fight, and more.
