UFC Vegas 112: Royval vs. Kape: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Kape against Royval since he’s the much quicker and explosive fighter. He’s also riding a two-fight streak, and I see him carry this momentum to another victory.
Kape is a more dynamic and diverse striker who has a deep bag of striking skills. He mixes up his attack by targeting the head, body, and legs of his opponents. This approach confuses his opposition and often surprises them with combinations.
Royval is expected to engage in a firefight with Kape throughout the match because he’s also a striking menace. However, the quickness and sharp counters of Kape will give him problems, as witnessed during his previous match with Joshua Van.
