Flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja will look to continue dominating his division when he takes on a dangerous contender at UFC 317.
Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Kara-France preview
Pantoja (29-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC) and Kara-France (25-11 MMA, 8-4 UFC) already fought once before, but it came on Season 24 of “The Ultimate Fighter” in a two-round exhibition bout which Pantoja won by unanimous decision.
Pantoja will look to notch his fourth title defense after wins over Brandon Royval, Steve Erceg and most recently Kai Asakura at UFC 310. Meanwhile, Kara-France earned his opportunity after a first-round TKO of Erceg at UFC 305 last August. This will be his second crack at UFC gold after losing to Brandon Moreno for the vacant interim title by third-round TKO at UFC 277.
Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Kara-France odds
