UFC 259 video: Kai Kara-France faceplants Rogerio Bontorin for ‘Mark Hunt walkaway vintage’ knockout

Kai Kara France had a bad start to his fight at UFC 259 but he still delivered an emphatic finish.

After spending most of the opening round with Rogerio Bontorin on his back looking for chokes, Kara-France powered back with a pair of devastating right hands that ultimately put the Brazilian face first on the canvas for the walk off knockout. The end came at 4:55 into the first round after referee Herb Dean stopped the fight.

“I was caught early. Weathered the storm, got back up. I just had to stay calm,” Kara-France said about his win.
