After Cristiano Ronaldo's win at UFC Vegas 44, Manel Kape performed Cristiano Rojo's "siu" celebration.
He did not take any prisoners and secured a TKO in the first round after a spectacular display of boxing.
Kape stopped pleading with his opponent after the referee stopped the fight and turned around to enjoy the cheers of the crowd.
Then he took a quick step and jumped into the air.
After spinning around to face Zhumagulov Kape boomed 'Siu! as he threw his arms behind his back.
