Joshua Van vs. Manel Kape Headlines UFC 335 in Toronto

The UFC is packing its bags for Toronto, and we finally have our main event for UFC 335. Joshua Van is set to square off against Manel Kape in a flyweight clash that guarantees fireworks, assuming the fight actually happens.

Booking Kape for a main event is an extreme sport in itself. The man has famously racked up 10 fight cancellations during his UFC tenure, compared to just eight actual trips to the octagon. Buying a ticket to a Kape fight is basically a high-stakes lottery ticket where the prize is just getting to watch the thing you paid for.

"Manel Kape recently called Joshua Van 'easy work' and framed the fight as 'finesse vs dynamite.'"

When he does fight, though, Kape is terrifying. The 32-year-old is coming off a brutal first-round TKO over Brandon Royval last December. He is already out here doing the promotional heavy lifting, recently calling the 25-year-old Van "easy work" and framing the matchup as finesse versus dynamite.

Van is not exactly a guy you want to overlook. He boasts a 16-2 professional record and a 50 percent knockout rate. He is young, active, and has the kind of fearless striking that makes this a nightmare matchup for anyone trying to coast.

Oddsmakers have already started dropping the opening lines for the Toronto card. The betting market is going to have a field day trying to price Kape's raw power against Van's youth and finishing ability.

We will see how the buildup plays out over the next few months. If Kape makes the walk, UFC 335 gets a certified banger. If history repeats itself, the matchmakers better have a backup fighter warming up in the bullpen right now.
