Kai Kara-France shares one-word reaction trolling Manel Kape after latter pulls out from UFC Vegas 91

Despite a recent withdrawal from his scheduled UFC Vegas 91 fight with Mattheus Nicolau, Manel Kape’s reputation has remained a topic of discussion in the flyweight division. His divisional rival, Kai Kara-France, was quick to take notice of the incident.

After Kape’s withdrawal and Perez’s replacement were announced on Instagram, Kara-France, the 125-pound New Zealander, commented in the section, expressing his amusement with the situation. Although he said very little, it was clear that he was dismissive.

“Lol”

The animosity between Kape and Kara-France dates back to their scheduled fight at UFC 293. However, due to a concussion sustained during training, the New Zealander had to withdraw from the bout. This caused Kape to become angry, leading to an altercation at the pre-fight press conference.

Despite his reputation for being a tough fighter, Kape has unfortunately been forced to withdraw from his upcoming bout due to injury. His latest tweet revealed that he underwent surgery for a broken rib cartilage, an ironic turn of events considering his previous bouts of bad luck. Although injuries are a common occurrence in this sport, this isn’t the first time Kape has let down his fans.

Despite being scheduled to fight Nicolau at UFC Fight Night 234 in January, Kape’s bout with him was cancelled due to him weighing three and a half pounds over the weight limit. This was not the first time Kape had faced this issue, adding to his unfortunate circumstances.

Before that incident, he had failed to make weight by three pounds for his fight against Ode’ Osbourne. Luckily, the fight was set at a catchweight of 129 pounds.

Nicolau, currently ranked No.5, has been a roadblock for Kape, who holds the No.6 spot. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Angolan-Portuguese fighter has been unable to compete against the Brazilian.
