Joshua Van Says Yes to Manel Kape Showdown, ‘Starboy’ Issues Immediate Response

Newly minted UFC flyweight kingpin Joshua Van has accepted Manel Kape’s challenge for a title shot in Houston. Kape called out Van after knocking out Brandon Royval this past weekend at UFC Vegas 112.

After finishing, Royval ‘Starboy’ said during the octagon interview:

“Now we’re talking. Joshua Van, you thought Brandon Royval would do something… I’m here. Your daddy’s going to take your diapers… Be ready. Let’s fight in Houston in February. Just sign the contract.”

At the post-fight presser, Kape told the media that Van is afraid of him and therefore hasn’t responded to the call-out yet.
