UFC 317 video: Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Kara-France intense at final faceoff
LAS VEGAS – Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Kara-France had a final staredown at UFC 317 ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of Saturday's flyweight title showdown. Pantoja (29-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC) will put his 125-pound belt on the line once again in hopes of a fourth consecutive define when he takes on Kara-France (25-11 MMA, 8-4 UFC) in the co-main event of the International Fight Week card at T-Mobile Arena (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). The previous encounter between the pair came in an exhibition bout on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series in 2016, with Pantoja claiming a unanimous decision. The circumstances this time are far different, however, and each appears keen to take home the gold.
