Manel Kape, Gregory "RoboCop" Rodrigues, UFC 304 preview

With Jim Norton out for the day, MMA writer John Morgan makes his return to UFC Unfiltered for a show alongside Matt Serra that sees the two chat with flyweight Manel Kape and middleweight Gregory Rodrigues ahead of their fights on this Saturday's UFC 304 card. Making his debut on the podcast, Kape reflects on his upbringing. After sharing that his father's decorated boxing background created his passion for fighting, Manel unpacks the origins of his fiery mentality before breaking down his mindset going into Saturday's highly anticipated fight against undefeated Muhammad Mokaev. When Gregory Rodrigues hops on, the Brazilian middleweight explains that being on this Saturday's UFC 304 main card in Manchester is a full-circle moment for him as someone who was cornering Vitor Belfort eight years ago in Manchester for UFC 204. The fighter known as "RoboCop" then goes on to share how family keeps him grounded as he approaches his matchup against Britain's Christian Leroy Duncan.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
