Kai Kara-France is getting the first men's flyweight non-title main event in the UFC since 2017. The 30-year-old talent also does a fantastic job of variating his jabs, smartly switching up his speeds and targets in order to set up hard right hands. Now, utilizing much more educated footwork and fakes, it is not uncommon to see Kara-France either feint his opposition’s guard out of place when coming forward or walking them into kill-shots when going backward. The New Zealand native always possessed his vaunted speed and power, but we’ve really seen Kara-France refine his game under the care of Eugene Bareman and the City Kickboxing crew. Kai Kara-France, who initially started his martial arts journey in the world of jiu-jitsu, has steadily molded himself into a savvy striker.
The main event in Las Vegas features a fantastic matchup between two flyweight contenders who aren’t afraid to throw down.
