‘He’s dangerous’… Alexandre Pantoja could get knocked out by Kai Kara-France at UFC 317, according to UFC star


Alexandre Pantoja could be in for a rude awakening against Kai Kara-France, according to an MMA icon.

The Brazilian is scheduled to make the next defence of his flyweight title later tonight at UFC 317 inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

In recent years, the champion has proven himself as one of the best in the history of the division. Pantoja ruthlessly finished Matt Schnell and recently dominated Kai Asakura.

However, he’ll need to be on his A-game to emerge victorious against one of New Zealand’s finest.

Tom Aspinall says Kai Kara-France could knock Alexandre Pantoja out with his wild strikes

Tom Aspinall rates Alexandre Pantoja extremely highly.

However, he’s pointed out that the gifted competitor needs to watch out for the unorthodox striking game of Kai Kara-France.

On an episode of Tom Aspinall’s Fight Lab, he said: “These guys don’t get respect because of the power, but this guy, Kai Kara-France, he is someone that does have power and he is dangerous.

“He’ll stand with his hands relatively low, and he’ll just throw from back here with his full bodyweight, going forward with uppercuts and hooks.

“A lot of the time, he won’t do it from close in, he’ll bring the feet in slow and then just start winging them, which is very exciting. In my opinion, that’s what we need in the flyweight division.”
