UFC 259 features a champion vs champion bout between Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz, a bantamweight title fight between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling, and Amanda Nunes vs Megan Anderson for the featherweight title.
Israel Adesanya has been leading the City KickBoxing gym in the world of MMA by dominating the UFC middleweight division. However, he is not the only one who has created an impact from City Kickboxing.
UFC flyweight, Kai Kara France is one of the most experienced fighters in the division and he has secured an insane KO win in the prelims of UFC 259.
Kai Kara France was coming off a submission loss to Brandon Royval in UFC 253. Though he has some big wins in the division his losses to top contenders such as Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval did halt his journey to the top of the division. However, his win over Rogerio Bontorin will surely give him the momentum that he needed.
