Joshua Van and Manel Kape are seemingly gearing up for their potential title fight.

Van defended his flyweight title at UFC 331 when he beat Alexandre Pantoja by decision in the rematch. It was a stellar performance, and after the win, it seemed set that Kape would get the next title shot.

Although nothing is booked, the two are already taking shots at one another, as Joshua Van warned him about making weight.

“Yo fat f**k. Start cutting now cuz you better make weight! We don't want another weight excuse. Let's give the people what they want,†Van wrote on X.

Despite not mentioning Kape in the post, the top contender saw it and fired back at Van.

“Finally came out of hiding, son? They told me you weren't sure about facing your dad, but I guess there's nowhere left to run. I promised I'd change your diapers, & I always keep my word. By the way, the weight I'm putting on is just so I can put you to sleep even earlier than Charles Johnson did,†Kape added.

It's clear that Joshua Van and Manel Kape don't like each other, and once their fight is announced, the build-up will be filled with trash talk.

Joshua Van and Manel Kape continue to take shots

After Kape accused Van of hiding, the UFC's flyweight champion didn't think that was the case at all.

“Hiding ?? I been here, like I always am. You just too busy shopping for bra , udk wht been goin on,†Van added.

Kape, meanwhile, was quick to respond and gave a warning to Van for their potential fight and how it will play out.

“The only things I've been shopping for are diapers & your health insurance. Trust me, you're gonna need both. And like a good father, I'm making sure everything's taken care of in advance. I only need One clean shot and your face won't match your passport anymore. #disfigured,†Kape responded.

Currently, Van vs. Kape isn't announced, but it should be booked soon and will be highly anticipated.
