Kape is a striker who hunts the finish — of his 22 wins, 14 come by knockout, 5 by submission, and 3 by decision. He's a genuine finisher: 86% of those wins came inside the distance. He's been submitted 2 times — a vulnerability that good grapplers will look to exploit. He's at his best when the fight stays standing — the live question in any matchup is whether an opponent can drag him into grappling he'd rather avoid.
