Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev are scheduled to take on each other in a much-anticipated flyweight bout at UFC 304. Ahead of the fight, both the fighters have a lot of animosity towards each other. It got to a point where they indulged in a street fight which ended in a bad way for Mokaev. 

Manel Kape’s training partner Jean Silva recently did an interview with Ag Fight. During the conversation, he talked about the altercation between Kape and Mokaev a few months ago. According to the Portuguese fighter, ‘Star Boy’ severely injured Mokaev and cut open his head. According to Silva, Mokaev’s Russian friends didn’t even bother to help during the fight.

Bro, [Kape] caught Mokaev at the entrance to the PI. He headbutted and elbowed him. In the street. He opened Mokaev's head a week before his fight. He's a psychopath. The Russians here, they didn't even help, they just watched.

According to Silva, the incident happened months ago at the UFC Performance Institute, supposedly ahead of Mokaev’s last fight against Alex Perez. Fortunately, the alleged injury didn’t affect the ‘Punisher’ who defeated Perez via unanimous decision. However, the Brit never spoke anything about the incident. On the other hand, Kape has always boasted about his street fight credentials.

Kape’s most recent performance was at UFC 293 which he won via a stunning unanimous decision over Felipe dos Santos. However, before the fight, Kape confronted then-middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at a pre-fight press conference. It was a rather unique scene to watch a flyweight challenge a much bigger fighter. However, as it turns out Kape had no fear towards Izzy.

After the infamous argument between Manel Kape and Israel Adesanya at UFC 293, Izzy went to make things straight with the flyweight. Kape has revealed that Izzy suggested as African brothers they shouldn’t fight. However, the fighter denied Adesanya’s proposal and refused his apology.

During his interview at the JAXXON Podcast, Manel Kape mentioned hypothetically fighting Israel Adesanya in the streets. According to Kape, he would give Izzy a run for his money in a street fight. 

I'm undefeated in the streets... I already beat many guys of his size. I don't give a f*** [about his size]. Put him in front of me in the streets and we're gonna see... [Adesanya] is pretty good, I'm pretty good too brother.

Nevertheless, Kape’s next fight Muhammad Mokaev will be extremely interesting given their past feud. If there is anything true about the incident that took place, Mokaev would be looking for his revenge but this time inside the octagon.
