The UFC kicks off a busy month of March with the first of five events as UFC on ESPN+ 111 takes place inside in the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main event is a flyweight bout that could have title shot implications as Manel Kape takes on Asu Almabayev. Kape was originally slated to fight Brandon Royval on this card, but Royval was forced out due to injury and Almabayev stepped in. Kape is looking for his second straight win while Almabayev is looking to improve to 5-0 during his UFC stint. In the co-main event, it’s a battle of middleweights looking to end losing skids as Cody Brundage takes on Julian Marquez. Also on the main card is a lightweight battle between Nasrat Haqparast; a featherweight bout pitting Hyder Amil against William Gomis; and a welterweight fight between Danny Barlow and Sam Patterson.
