Kai Kara-France mysteriously disappeared from the UFC flyweight rankings after the latest update.
The Uncrowned’s Ariel Helwani contacted Kara-France’s team, who explained why he has been dropped from the rankings. The Kiwi wants to take a hiatus of at least a year to pursue other interests unrelated to fighting. Kara-France informed the UFC of his plans and exited the drug testing pool. The 32-year-old is not eligible to be ranked as a result of his absence from the drug-testing pool. Kara-France’s team also clarified that he has not been released from the UFC.
Known for his unusual knockout power at 125 pounds, Kara-France (25-12) has now dropped three of his last four.
