As reported by Marcel Dorff on X, the UFC’s final fight of the year will be Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape in the flyweight division. Royval was the No. 1-flyweight contender up until his loss to Joshua Van at UFC 317 in June, and Kape is one good win away from title contention.<\/p>\n
Their fight will be a main event at the UFC APEX for UFC Vegas 112 on December 13. It’s not the glamorous backdrop fans would like to see from the final event on ESPN, but it’s a good fight no-less.<\/p>\n

Since then, he’s had nine fights, winning six, with nine cancellations. As such, his path to the title has been arduous and slow, and this will be his third booking against Royval.<\/p>\n Another cancellation, or a decisive loss, could see Kape ejected from the flyweight title picture for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n Stay tuned for more UFC Vegas 112 updates.<\/p>\n Stick with\u00a0MMAKnockout<\/a>\u00a0for more\u00a0FREE coverage\u00a0of the UFC, MMA, Boxing.
