Kai Kara-France calm ahead of UFC 317 title fight: 'I know what the expectations are'

Kai Kara-France enters his UFC flyweight championship opportunity at a great time in his life.

The veteran fighter says he's at a much better place right now as he enters the biggest fight in his MMA career. Kara-France (25-11 MMA, 8-4 UFC) takes on champion Alexandre Pantoja (29-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC 317 on June 28 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Kara-France fought for a UFC interim title in 2022, but was stopped by Brandon Moreno with a third-round TKO.

Kara-France plans on using that experience paired with his new mentality to bring home the belt.
