Manel Kape believes he might take Israel Adesanya in a road combat.
Throughout a current look on the JAXXON podcast with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, ‘Starboy’ claimed that he might take ‘The Final Stylebender’ in a scrap, whatever the measurement disparity between the 2.
“I’m undefeated within the streets. I don’t give a f*ck. I beat already many, many, many guys of his measurement. I don’t give a f*ck [about his size],” Kape mentioned. “Put him in entrance of me within the streets, and we’re gonna see. It’s every part on the street… I’m fairly good too, brother” (h/t MiddleEasy).
It’s a reasonably daring assertion coming from Kape who stands at 5’6″ and repeatedly fights at 125 kilos — when he truly makes weight. By comparability Adesanya is 6’4″ tall and fights at middleweight, a weight class 60 kilos heavier than the one Kape calls house.
It’s definitely not the primary time Kape has had one thing unfavorable to say about fighters out of Metropolis Kickboxing in New Zealand. Final yr, ‘Starboy’ went in on Adesanya’s teammate, Kai Kara-France, calling him and the entire gym a “bunch of f****ts” throughout a post-fight interview.

Manel Kape has received his final 4 fights contained in the Octagon. Sadly, the streak has accomplished little in the best way of incomes him a title alternative amid a slew of canceled clashes. ‘Starboy’ was compelled to withdraw from a combat with Matheus Nicolau on two separate events, considered one of which was as a result of he did not make the flyweight restrict.
Nonetheless, it must be famous that a number of fights, together with bouts with Kai Kara-France, Deiveson Figueiredo, Alex Perez, Rogério Bontorin, and Alexandre Pantoja had been all scrapped for a wide range of points, none of which had been Kape’s fault.
