UFC Fight Night 253 preview: Will Manel Kape emerge as next UFC flyweight title challenger?

The UFC flyweight division may have its next title challenger this weekend.

Top flyweight contenders Manel Kape and Asu Almabayev collide in the main event of UFC Fight Night 253, which goes down this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. With champion Alexandre Pantoja waiting on the sidelines with no challenger officially slatted, Kape and Almabayev could potentially be fighting for the next crack at the belt.

How realistic is a title shot for the winner of Saturday’s UFC main event? What’s the best result for the flyweight division?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George discuss the implications of the Kape vs. Almabayev matchup, and they each highlight a bout outside the main event of the card.
