Dominance MMA\u2019s Ali Abdelaziz recently made a claim that his flyweight fighter hits harder than UFC heavyweight Josh Hokit. <\/p>\n
While it\u2019s outrageous to say that a 125lb-er hits harder than a heavyweight, Abdelaziz did back it up with a few facts. The popular MMA manager shared this take of his in a recent appearance on the Pound 4 Pound Show with Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo. <\/p>\n

The flyweight fighter in question is the surging Manel Kape. Here is what Abdelaziz said about Kape to an amused Usman and Cejudo:<\/p>\n
There is no fun matchup anymore in flyweight because Manel Kape is going to put everybody in a bodybag \u2013 everybody is getting knocked out from now until 2030\u2026Who hits harder, Josh Hokit or Manel Kape? Manel Kape can hit harder than a heavyweight.<\/p>\n
When interrupted by Usman, who asked if he was talking about \u2018pound-for-pound\u2019 power, Abdelaziz disagreed before going on to say:<\/p>\n
I saw Manel knock out guys from welterweight, all the way to flyweight\u2026I have to pay people to spar Manel. This is f**king facts. <\/p>\n
