The good news is that Kiwi Kai Kara-France headlines the UFC this weekend.
The bad news is that he is doing it in front of no crowd at the UFC Apex.
Regardless, his main event fight with Amir Albazi looks a belter at Flyweight and if he can get the win it puts him right back in the title picture.
Our full UFC Fight Night; Kara-France vs Albazi can be found below.
Kai Kara-France vs Amir Albazi
Tip: Kai Kara-France at $1.90
The punters are struggling to split the two in the main event with both $1.90 head to head.
Kai Kara-France of course fought for the Interim Flyweight title against Brandon Moreno in July last year, a fight he lost via TKO in the third round.
Prior to that loss he strung together three successive wins with two being via first round KO/TKO.
Amir Albazi has just the one loss on his professional MMA career resume and is undefeated in four UFC fights.
Nine of his 16 career wins have been by submission and a further four by KO/TKO.
He offers plenty of threats to Kara-France especially if the fight ends up on the canvas, but I give the advantage to the Kiwi on the feet.
Alex Caceres vs Daniel Pineda
Tip: Alex Caceres at $1.53
Alex Caceres is always an entertaining prospect with a unique style that gives his opponents a tough time.
At one stage in his career his record stood at 14-12 but he has now won six of his last seven inside the UFC including a first round TKO over Julian Erosa in December last year.
His opponent is 37 year old Daniel Pineda who has 14 losses on his resume.
He made his UFC debut way back in 2012 but has also fought in Legacy FC, Bellator, Fury FC and PFL before returning to the sport’s biggest promotion in 2020.
This is a co main that you don’t want to miss and I’m expecting the full skillset of mixed martial arts to be on display.
Jared Gordon vs Jim Miller
Tip: Jim Miller at $2.50
Jared Gordon lost few admirers in a decision loss to Paddy Pimblett, a fight in which this fan scored for Gordon.
He has then knocked out in his fight against Bobby Green in April but that result was overturned to a no contest as it was clearly a clash of heads.
Jim Miller is a stalwart of the UFC and he currently holds the record for the most fights and most wins in the promotion’s history.
His record is testament to his extremely well rounded skillset and he has an incredible 19 pro wins by submission.
He put together three wins via finish in a row before a decision loss to Alexander Hernandez in February.
I’m of the opinion these odds should be a lot closer and therefore I’m with the veteran at the price head to head.
