The UFC returns to action after its holiday break with another Fight Night in the friendly confines of the Apex's smaller cage. Flyweight contenders Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi headline Saturday night's card as both fighters look to push toward a title shot. It's been close to a full calendar year since the third-ranked Kara-France dropped his last fight to current champion Brandon Moreno in July. The two battled for the interim flyweight strap in the co-main event at UFC 277, and despite Kara-France coming up short, he showed well, hurting Moreno early in the bout. I remember vividly because I was on Moreno pretty heavy, and even though I ended up a winner, it was at the expense of a pretty good sweat.
DALLAS, TEXAS - JULY 30: Kai Kara-France of New Zealand kicks Brandon Moreno of Mexico in the interim UFC flyweight championship fight during the UFC 277 event at American Airlines Center on July 30, 2022 in Dallas, Texas. The UFC returns to action after its holiday break with another Fight Night in the friendly confines of the Apex’s smaller cage. Flyweight contenders Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi headline Saturday night’s card as both fighters look to push toward a title shot.
This isn’t the strongest card from top to bottom, but I am excited to see a meaningful fight in the main event. As a bettor, it’s nice to get back in the action, and the card will serve its purpose to hold us over until UFC 289 next weekend. After Kara-France opened as the favorite, the current odds at BetMGM have this fight as a pick ’em with -110 odds on each side. If that doesn’t convince you we are in for a good scrap, I am not sure what will.
Kara-France has proven he has the technical ability to stay on his feet against strong grapplers. Just last year, in his upset win over Askar Askarov, Kara-France fended off 12 of 14 of Askarov’s takedown attempts and used his opponents relentless wrestling against him. Kara-France does an excellent job of controlling tempo with his pressure and forcing his opponents to fight at an exhausting pace.
