Alex Perez vs Manel Kape Prediction

Finally, we head over to the featured attraction of the evening, as Manel "StarBoy" Kape enters the fray against the one and hopefully only Alex Perez. Fresh off of his star-making performance over David Dvorak, where he obtained a lopsided 30-26 decision, Kape is looking to parlay his recent good fortune to this San Antonio Card. The pride of Portugal aims to secure yet another highlight reel finish victory on the withering Alex. Mr. Perez has had quite the fall from grace following his title fight appearance at UFC 255, with canceled fight after canceled fight littering his strength of schedule.

On top of having over six fights fall through, when Alex was actually able to compete in the last millennium, he got smoked by Alexandre Pantoja, getting rear naked choke ended in just under 120 seconds. While losing to Pantoja, of all people, is nothing one should feel ashamed of, the fact of the matter is the ring rust combined with his flat and stale performance leads me to believe that Perez's best days are behind him in the frenetic, wacky world of Mixed Martial Arts. Apart from dropping a razor-thin decision to the aforementioned Pantoja as well as a flat-out robbery to Mateusz Nicholau, it has been smooth sailings for Kape, so I doubt the momentum suddenly comes to a halt on Saturday.

Sure, there might be a faint grappling upside in what Alex Perez historically brings to the table. However, I wholeheartedly believe that Kape has evolved those weak points in staying active and getting top-shelf coaching over inside the United States, so it should not be much cause for concern. Barring some freak contusion or career-ending injury, expect to bet that Manel Kape scorches right through Alex Perez, pulverizing the sacrificial lamb to the slaughter by club and sub in the very 1st round.
