Manel Kape knocks Brandon Royval out
Manel backed up his opponent until he reached the fence, before scoring a heavy blow.
Brandon Royval fell flat on his face after a right flush hook.
Kape’s ground attacks temporarily left Royval motionless.
Royval’s consciousness returned just as the referee entered to stop play. He tried to continue.
The title picture of the flyweight
Just one week has passed since the UFC 323 flyweight title was shockingly changed hands.
Alexandre Pantoja sustained an injury to his arm during the first moments of his 125lb fight.
Joshua Van takes his title with a TKO that is not conclusive.
Dana White, the UFC’s CEO, would ordinarily order a rematch if such an incident occurred.
