How to Watch UFC Fight Night: Royval vs Kape – Stream MMA Live, TV Channel

Brandon Royval’s latest attempt to get a shot at the UFC flyweight belt involves a test against knockout threat Manel Kape.

A clash of styles is on the card in Saturday’s UFC main event as Brandon Royval looks to exploit his ground dominance against striking specialist and fellow flyweight title hopeful Manel Kape. ‘Raw Dawg’ is aiming to get back on track for another crack at newly crowned UFC champion Joshua Van, who beat Royval via decision in his last outing to get what turned out to be a successful shot for Alexandre Pantoja’s belt. However, ‘Starboy’ stands in his way as one of the biggest threats lurking in the division as he targets a seventh win in his last eight bouts.

Kape has won each of his last two fights via third-round stoppage but faces a durable threat in Royval, whose only TKO defeat came against future champion Brandon Moreno back in 2020.

Royval enters this encounter on the back of a decision defeat to Van, who has since gone on to claim the UFC flyweight belt following a bizarre win over Pantoja due to an arm injury:

In fact, Royval’s only four defeats in the UFC have come against fighters who would go on to be crowned champion or held the flyweight title at the time: Van, Moreno and Pantoja (twice).

Kape also has a loss against Pantoja on his record, though his other UFC defeats to Matheus Nicolau and Muhammad Mokaev hint at a potential blind spot in his ground game.

Earlier in Saturday’s main card, Kennedy Nzechukwu and Marcus Buchecha face off in a heavyweight duel that looks unlikely to go the distance, with 16 finish wins between the pair (11 of which are for the former).

Giga Chikatdze’s featherweight battle against Kevin Vallejos serves as co-main and also holds plenty of promise as Georgia’s ‘Ninja’ targets his first UFC win since August 2023.
