Manel Kape breaks foot; Brandon Royval, Joshua Van agree to UFC 317 fight
Dana White said he loved Joshua Van's attitude after UFC 316 – and now it appears he'll be rewarded greatly. Manel Kape is out of UFC 317 due to a fractured foot, he announced Monday. With Brandon Royval needing a new opponent for the June 28 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, it appears Van (14-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) has positioned himself for the replacement opportunity. Both Van and Royval (17-7 MMA, 7-3 UFC) announced Monday they'll be fighting one another, though a person with knowledge of the situation told MMA Junkie that bout agreements have not yet been distributed or signed. Kape (21-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) said he suffered the injury in training and after medical evaluation, it was determined surgery is necessary. "It's not easy to stay out of something I've been preparing for with so much dedication, and without a doubt this would be the most advantageous fight of my career, but I understand that this is just another challenge on the way, and I trust the plans that Allah has for me!" Kape wrote on Instagram. The Royval vs. Kape bout could've been a UFC title eliminator and might still be if and when Van's slotting is finalized. Royval, 32, has won back-to-back fights against Brandon Moreno and Tatsuro Taira since his failed title bid vs. Alexandre Pantoja in December 2023. He has not competed since October 2024 due to a concussion and elongated symptoms encountered in early 2025. Van, 23, has become one of the UFC's most active fighters. His dominant TKO win over Bruno Silva on Saturday in Newark, N.J. extended his winning streak to four. His competition frequency extends back before his UFC debut, and really spans his entire career. Van debuted as an amateur in December 2020 and has since fought 20 times.

Justin Gaethje Threatens Retirement After UFC 317 Title Snub
Justin Gaethje Threatens Retirement After UFC 317 Title Snub originally appeared on Athlon Sports. UFC 317 is shaping up to be a mega event, with high stakes and elite names headlining the card. Ilia Topuria is making an aggressive leap—challenging immediately for the lightweight title—and he'll have to go through the ultra-resilient Charles Oliveira to claim it. The card is scheduled for Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. But while the spotlight burns bright on the main event, there's one lightweight contender who's glaringly absent from the picture—and he's not staying silent about it. Advertisement Former interim champion Justin Gaethje has made his frustration known. According to UFC commentator Jon Anik, who spoke with Gaethje in May on the Anik & Florian Podcast, the fighter was flat-out 'pissed' about being passed over for the UFC 317 title opportunity. UFC CEO Dana WhitePhoto by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC Now, his longtime manager Ali Abdelaziz has added more fuel to the fire. Speaking with Submission Radio on YouTube, Abdelaziz said: 'Justin Gaethje [should] fight the winner. He won three of his last four. He saved the UFC two times… The guy did so much for the sport. And if anyone said he doesn't deserve it—he said, "I'm not going to fight for the title, I'm just going to hang up my gloves."' 'He said, "I feel disrespected. I love being a UFC fighter. I love the UFC, but I feel the UFC have to love me back."' The UFC, and Dana White specifically, now face a pivotal decision. Should Gaethje be granted the next title shot? Or will rising contenders like Arman Tsarukyan or the surging Paddy Pimblett jump the line? Justin GaethjeGetty Images A rematch scenario isn't off the table either. Gaethje recently bounced back in impressive fashion at UFC 313, where he defeated Rafael Fiziev by unanimous decision in a dominant three-round showing in the co-main event. For Gaethje, however, the time for patience may be running out.
