Racking up his fourth successful title defense in just two years tonight, Brazilian star, Alexandre Pantoja continues to knock back all comes to his throne — making lightwork of Kai Kara-France with a dominant third round rear-naked choke win at UFC 317.
Pantoja, a dominant flyweight champion, had been sidelined since UFC 310 at the end of last year, on that occasion stopping promotional newcomer, Kai Asakura with a second round rear-naked choke to top the card.
And taking on former interim flyweight title challenger, Kara-France — an ultra aggressive Pantoja turned on the pace early in their co-main event clash tonight.
