This will be the chance for Kai Kara-France to break a two-fight losing streak. Kai Kara-France’s three consecutive wins earned him a title shot against Brandon Moreno but he failed to capitalize on it. Then, he lost his most recent match against Amir Albazi on June 3, 2023.
On the other hand, Manel Kape seems to be in good form. He is currently on a three-fight winning streak. Kape is coming off a unanimous decision win against David Dvorak in December 2022.
Now, it will be interesting to see whether Kara-France will be able to return to the winning path by ending Manel Kape’s winning streak or will the latter add another win to his streak.
