Portuguese fighter Manel Kape spoke harshly to his rival, Dagestan-born Briton Muhammad Mokaev, after their fight in a hotel before their fight at UFC 304 on July 27 in Manchester.
What kind of Muslim are you? You gave me Salam asked to take a picture and then tried to punch me in the betrayal, i can see now you are not a child of the dagestan, because there are created men you are just a poor bast**d raised on a low income in Manchester without honor and principles. When I hit you in Vegas I went alone and I told you to be ready, I don't hit men with their guard down or distracted or on the back. I thought everything was solved, but now the carnage will continue... Shaytan!
