Brandon Moreno has one goal for his UFC return: Stop Kai Kara-France.
The former flyweight champion returns to the cage this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 277 in Dallas. Moreno (19-5-2 MMA, 7-2-2 UFC) takes on New Zealand’s Kara-France (24-9 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in a five-round championship bout for the interim 125-pound title as champion Deiveson Figueiredo recovers from a hand injury.
Moreno and Kara-France have history. They’ve already fought once, clashing in December 2019 at UFC 245. The Mexican star bested Kara-France in a striking battle that was ruled a unanimous decision.
