Asu Almbayev's opponent responded to the knockout threat.

Portuguese-Angolan fighter in the flyweight division of the UFC Manel Kape responded to the statement from his opponent from Kazakhstan Aso Almalbaev, who mentioned that he will be aiming for a quick victory in their bout on March 2, as reported by Sports.kz.

The fight between Almalbaev and Kape will headline the UFC Vegas 103 event in Las Vegas.

— I don’t know what finish he’s talking about. He has only finished one guy in the UFC. All his other victories were by decision. I genuinely believe he’s not a “five-round” fighter, and by the time he reaches the third round, his conditioning will already be compromised. I think this fight will be very beneficial for me, and it will take place on my terms.

We both need to be fresh for this fight, and that’s how it will be. Honestly, I don’t underestimate him at all, but I have no concerns about his game. I don’t see anything in him that I haven’t seen before. I’ve been doing this for a long time, but everything will be different on Saturday night. I’m going to put on a show. I want to deliver an excellent performance. If he makes any mistakes, I will take advantage of them, — Kape said in an interview with Athlonsports.com.
