The UFC has added another former RIZIN champ to its roster, as it’s being reported that bantamweight Manel Kape has signed with the promotion.
Kape (15-4) won RIZIN’s bantamweight title in December by stopping Kai Asakura in the second round. Combate is reporting that the 26-year-old has signed with the UFC and MMA Fighting has also reported Kape is UFC bound.
The AKA Thailand fighter is currently riding a three-fight wining streak and Kape is 4-1 in his last 5 bouts. Kape went 6-3 during his run with RIZIN.
Earlier this year, the UFC signed Jiri Prochazka, who held RIZIN’s light-heavyweight title at the time.
