Kai Kara France reacts to his brilliant performance on UFC debut

Kiwi flyweight Kai Kara-France believes that he couldn’t have asked for a better UFC debut.

Kara-France battled back from an opening round knockdown and triangle endeavor from Garcia to proceed with a unanimous decision triumph.

Kara-France was so dominant that particularly in rounds two and three, he landed 157 strikes to Garcia’s 20.

It was surprisingly the 6th largest differential in UFC flyweight history. The judge’s scorecards were 30-25, 30-25 and 30-26 in Kai’s favor.

He affirmed the triangle endeavor from Garcia was profound, yet he said experiencing difficulty in battles makes him better.

“You could see my experience in that fight. Even though I was down in the first round I wasn’t swayed by it,” Kara-France said. “I just had to push through it.”

Kara-France’s defense was as noteworthy as his superb striking as he consistently countered Garcia’s takedown and submission endeavors.

“I’ve pictured this [for] a long time. I’ve been in this sport for nine years now, I’ve took the hard route to get to the UFC but I’m happy to be here and hopefully I can stay,” he said.
