Mixed Martial Arts action returns to the Apex for tonight’s UFC Vegas 119 event, a 12-bout fight card headlined by Manel Kape vs. Kyoji Horiguchi.
Kape (22-7 MMA) and Horiguchi (36-5 MMA) will be competing for a second time this evening in Las Vegas. The flyweight contenders originally met back on New Years Eve in 2017 under the RIZIN banner, with ‘The Typhoon’ emerging victorious by way of third-round submission (arm-triangle choke).
Manel Kape will enter tonight’s rematch sporting a three-fight winning streak, with all three of those most recent Octagon victories coming by way of KO / TKO. ‘Starboy’ was most previously seen in action this past December, where he scored a first-round knockout victory over former title challenger Brandon Royval (see that here).
Meanwhile, Kyoji Horiguchi currently boasts an eight-fight unbeaten streak, which includes five straight victories. The Japanese standout was most previously seen in action this past February, where he scored a unanimous decision win over Amir Albazi. Prior to that triumph, the 35-year-old was coming off a technical submission victory over Tagir Ulanbekov.
Tonight’s UFC Vegas 119 event is co-headlined by a highly anticipated light heavyweight contest featuring Ion Cutelaba taking on Navajo Stirling.

Cutelaba (20-11-1 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since scoring a first-round submission victory over Oumar Sy this past March (see that here). ‘The Hulk’ has gone 3-1 over his past four fights, with his lone loss in that time coming against Modestas Bukauskas by way of split decision.
Meanwhile, Navajo Stirling (9-0 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past March in Seattle, where he kept his perfect record in check with a second-round TKO victory over Bruno Lopes. The 28-year-old has gone 4-0 since joining the UFC ranks in December of 2024.
Also featured on tonight’s UFC Vegas 119 main card lineup is a featherweight bout between Andre Fili and Vinicius Oliveira.
Fili (25-13 MMA) will be competing for the first time since dropping a split decision loss to Jose Miguel Delgado this past March at UFC Vegas 114. Prior to that setback, ‘Touchy’ was coming off a split decision victory over Christian Rodriguez in August of 2025.
Meanwhile, Vinicius Oliveira (23-4 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest looking to rebound, this after suffering a submission loss to Mario Bautista in his most recent Octagon appearance this past February. Prior to that setback, ‘Lok Dog’ had strung together a six-fight winning streak, a stretch which included knockout victories over Hikaru Yoshino, Victor Madrigal and Benardo Sopaj.
