UFC Fight Night Predictions (June 20th 2026)
UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Horiguchi takes place this weekend from the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday, June 20, live on Paramount+. Here are my predictions for the first fight card since UFC Freedom 250.
Main event: Kape vs. Horiguchi
Horiguchi (36-5, 1 NC) choked Kape out at RIZIN in 2017. Kape (22-7) is now a top-five flyweight, with a four-inch reach edge at 68 inches. I think Kape’s power wins this in rounds 1 or 2, but if you want to have a look at my full breakdown check it out here.
Co-main: Cutelaba vs. Stirling
Navajo Stirling (9-0) is the City Kickboxing product everyone wants to see. Ion Cutelaba (20-11-1) is the wild veteran who can ruin a debut in the first ninety seconds, but I think that Stirling takes this by Decision.
