What happened: Manel Kape described his first meeting with Kyoji Horiguchi as being "a Ferrari in the wrong garage," suggesting the result didn't reflect his true level. The two rematch in the UFC Vegas 119 main event on June 20. Horiguchi won the original bout by submission in 2017.
Why it matters: Kape has said he is less focused on avenging the loss than on what the win unlocks: a path to the flyweight title. A statement victory over a respected former champion would strengthen his case for a title shot in a thin division.
By the numbers: Head-to-head: Horiguchi def. Kape by submission (2017), their only prior meeting.
What to watch: The rematch headlines UFC Vegas 119 on Saturday, June 20, with title-contention stakes for Kape.
