UFC Vegas 112, The Morning After: The Flyweight Division suddenly thrived after Manel Kape Ko

Manel Cape finally lived up to his potential last night (Saturday, December 13, 2025) in the main event of UFC Vegas 112 against former title challenger Brandon Royval.

"Starboy has the skill and athleticism and has been a legitimate name for years, but KAPARE has never really succeeded. When you pull away from Clasher Turcher's classic defense, you have to wait for the perfect moment to deliver it. Even though his punches are higher and more powerful than anyone else, Kapare still fights who is not alone. In fact, his first UFC career against Alexandre started with an Alexandre career.

Kape's current three-fight winning streak - all by knockout - is strong evidence that he has overcome the bug.Crushing the resilient Royval in three minutes is a particularly fine feat as Kape scored a career-best win with a front foot combination shot.

Kepa's rise has come at an exciting time for the lightweight division that has historically struggled with the depth and weight of key champions.When Pantoja won his second and third victories over the's top contender, the ភាគី 125 condo party began to feel thin again.We certainly do not have the danger of the division being canceled (again), but it is far from Marquee combat.

Maybe it will change a little in 2026 for the paramount?I will not wish for the panste of pansoja's that was designed in fetrocce installed in the white ferder I hated it, it is very little my favorite champion, but the charmion of the knock of the van offers other interesting possibilities.The young Texan likes to fight regularly, creating a clear opportunity to defend the title for the first time in 2026 while Pattoja is injured.

For the first time in years - I don't know how many of them - BLOWWEIGHTEY has a choiceCape just gave up his first title shot, and Cape Van is easily the best heavyweight performer in the game.Last weekend at UFC 323, 25-year-old Tacturo Tyra got the best fight from the veteran.It was a work best sport in itself, there is an obvious problem with lower case letters for the next eighteen

If scheduled, Vaughn vs.Terra would be the first UFC title fight between two fighters born in the 2000s, the start of a rivalry that could shape the division for years to come.

The old guard hasn't dried up yet either.Kyoge is back in action after defeating Tagir Ulanbekov in Horiguchi's return to the Octagon, and will face a top-five contender in Amira Albaji in February.With his second UFC win in three months, the Japanese legend has successfully pushed his title bid forward, which brings us to three strong options.

Whenever Pantoja returns, that number becomes four.

Hopefully the elite Flyweight division will continue into the new year.The current rankings are as solid as they have been in recent memory, and Paramount's cash flow should help attract even more 125-pound talent from the world stage.Someone has to name all the unnumbered PPV events next year, and perhaps the Flyweights will be the ones to shoulder the blame.
