Tensions between UFC stars Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev have reached a tipping point, as the two were reportedly involved in another altercation just days before their scheduled bout at UFC 304.
According to a post, a scuffle broke out between Kape and Mokaev’s teams at the fighters’ hotel in Manchester. This comes on the heels of a previous incident that occurred earlier this year at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.
Jean Silva, a member of Kape’s team, claimed that the altercation at the UFC PI resulted in Kape “elbowing Mokaev in the head” and Mokaev landing a “headbutt” in retaliation. However, Kape later disputed these claims, stating, “People like to buy this fan story. This is the story. By the way, Jean is a good promoter. He’s a good seller at the end of the day. This makes the fight more exciting.” Kape also asserted, “Me and Mokaev are good…”
But it appears that the alleged truce between the two has been shattered, as evidenced by the latest incident at the hotel. Following the altercation, both Kape and Mokaev took to social media to exchange barbs.
Kape shared a story on Instagram featuring a photo of Mokaev with a cut above his eyebrow, captioning it, “my b*tch forever.” In response, Mokaev shared a screenshot of the brawl, circling Kape’s face and writing “help” above it.
The ongoing tension between Kape and Mokaev has garnered significant attention from the MMA community, with fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming clash at UFC 304. The incident has further fueled the already intense rivalry, leaving many to wonder how it will play out in the Octagon.
As the two prepare to square off, the UFC will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the situation, ensuring that it does not escalate further and that the event proceeds without any further disruptions.
