Brandon Moreno Beats Kai Kara-France via 3rd-Round TKO in UFC 277 Co-Main Event

Brandon Moreno added an interim flyweight championship belt to his resume with a third-round TKO win over Kai Kara-France in the co-main event of UFC 277.

The fight got off to a slow start as both fighters took nearly the whole first round to get a read on one another. However, business started to pick up in Round 2 as Moreno's boxing allowed him to score with a few hooks.

Kara-France answered with some leg kicks which parlayed nicely into him opening things up in the third round.

The New Zealanders started to score more regularly with boxing of his own but his willingness to stand and exchange cost him in the long run.
