UFC signs former Rizin champion

UFC has added another championship pedigree athlete to his roster.

Former Rizin bantamweight champion Manel Kape (15-4) is now part of the largest MMA organization in the world.

The 26-year-old Angolan athlete currently rides a three-fight win streak made up of three knockouts. In the most recent, Kape upset Kai Asakura to capture the vacant Rizin Bantamweight title.

Kape makes his debut back in 2012 and all but one of his 15 professional victories came via stoppage.
