UFC 259 adds two fights: Kai Kara-France vs. Rogerio Bontorin and Carlos Ulberg vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu

More City Kickboxing teammates have been added to UFC 259 as Kai Kara-France and Carlos Ulberg have been given assignments for their upcoming appearances.

Combate first reported Kara-France will be meeting fellow flyweight contender Rogerio Bontorin while Christopher Reive of NZ Herald reported the promotional debut of Ulberg against Kennedy Nzechukwu. Both fights have since been confirmed by UFC officials on their social media accounts.

Kara-France went 1-1 in 2020. He fought at UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. Hooker in February against Tyson Nam, who he defeated by way of unanimous decision. Kara-France then returned in September at UFC 253 and was submitted with a guillotine choke in a ‘Fight of the Night’ showing against Brandon Royval.
