UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van and Manel Kape escalate their
\nwar of words<\/h2>\n

Van mocked Kape in a recent post on X while teasing a fight between
\nthe two strikers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYo fat f*ck,\u201d Van wrote on X. \u201cStart cutting now cuz u better make
\nweight !! We don\u2019t want another weight excuse. Let\u2019s give the
\npeople what they want!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kape soon responded, vowing to finish the champion quicker than
\nCharles
\nJohnson<\/a> did in Van\u2019s most recent defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally came out of hiding, son?\u201d Kape posted in response. \u201cThey
\ntold me you weren\u2019t sure about facing your dad, but I guess there\u2019s
\nnowhere left to run. I promised I\u2019d change your diapers, & I always
\nkeep my word. By the way, the weight I\u2019m putting on is just so I
\ncan put you to sleep even earlier than Charles Johnson did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van fired back by mocking online speculation about Kape\u2019s
\nappearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHiding ??\u201d Van wrote. \u201cI been here, like I always am. You just too
\nbusy shopping for bra , udk wht been goin on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kape returned to the baby-themed trash talk, prompting Van to
\nquestion his apparent fixation on diapers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only things I\u2019ve been shopping for are diapers & your health
\ninsurance,\u201d Kape wrote. \u201cTrust me, you\u2019re gonna need both. And like
\na good father, I\u2019m making sure everything\u2019s taken care of in
\nadvance.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Wht with your obsession With diapers,” Van wrote. “Make me wonder
\n#tittyboi.\u201d<\/p>\n
