Always makes me laugh when a fighter gets in their opponent’s face between rounds. You’ll be engaging again in a minute lol.

R2 10-9 Kara-France, going up 20-18. Not a big round but a nice one. Good leg kicks. #UFCVegas74

Albazi’s legit but also this looks a lot like KKF is going to accept a low-volume loss where he also gets outwrestled.

How to beat Kai Kara finish him early and albazzi wrestle with him for a round and he gasses

Weekly reminder that striking stats are unofficial on the night and that regardless of number accuracy, they DO NOT TELL THE STORY OF THE FIGHT.

Judges also don’t have access to these numbers, nor should they. Hate me numbers people but this is true. #UFCVegas74

Hyon Ko

France picking apart Albazi on the feet. The jab is finding a home repeatedly and the pace is elevated. 2-2 #UFCVegas74

Bloody Elbow

Round 5 Kara-France is what I kinda expected to see from the beginning. On the front foot, flurrying, landing solid. Took a while for him to get there. #UFCVegas74

Amir Albazi ties Muhammad Mokaev for the longest active UFC win streak in the flyweight division with his 4th consecutive win at 125 lbs. #UFCVegas74
