A flyweight showdown pitting Kai Kara
France against Amir Albazi
is on tap for an Utimate Fighting Championship event on June 3.
MMAFighting.com confirmed the booking after Albazi announced it
on social media. The UFC Fight Night card doesn’t yet have an
official location or venue. It is also expected to include a
women’s bantamweight clash between Miesha Tate
and Mayra
Bueno Silva.
Kara France last appeared at UFC 277, where he suffered a
third-round technical knockout loss to current flyweight king
Brandon
Moreno last July. He was supposed to face Alex Perez at
UFC 284 but was forced to withdraw from the card due to injury.
Albazi, meanwhile, has lost just once in 17 professional outings.
The Baghdad, Iraq, native has kicked off his promotional tenure
with four straight triumphs, including a third-round KO of Alessandro
Costa in his most recent appearance at UFC Fight Night 216.
