The Octagon returns to Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 103 event, a ten-bout fight card headlined by Manel Kape vs. Asu Almabayev.
Kape (20-7 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a third-round TKO victory over Bruno Gustavo da Silva this past December in Tampa Bay. ‘Starboy’ has gone 5-1 over his past six Octagon appearances, with his lone loss in that time coming to Muhammad Mokaev by way of decision.
Meanwhile, Asu Almabayev (21-2 MMA) will enter tonight’s headliner sporting a seventeen fight win streak, his most recent being a unanimous decision victory over Matheus Nicolau. ‘Zulfikar’ has gone a perfect 4-0 since joining the UFC ranks in August of 2023.
UFC Vegas 103 is co-headlined by a middleweight contest featuring Julian Marquez taking on Cody Brundage.
Marquez (9-5 MMA) will enter the bout with hopes of snapping a three-fight losing skid. ‘The Cuban Missile Crisis’ has suffered three straight stoppage losses at the hands of Gregory Rodrigues, Marc-Andre Barriault and Zachary Reese.
Meanwhile, Cody Brundage (10-6 MMA) most recently competed in July of last year, where his bout with Abdul Razak Alhassan was ruled a no-contest due to some illegal elbows. Prior to that, the South Carolina native was coming off a submission loss to Bo Nickal at last year’s historic UFC 300 event.
