UFC 284 has lost another high-profile fight.
Kai Kara-France announced on Thursday that he was forced to withdraw from his fight against Alex Perez after suffering an injury. The one-time interim flyweight title challenger did not disclose the injury.
“Unfortunately, due to injury, I’ve had to pull out of my upcoming fight in Perth,” wrote Kara-France on Instagram. “I’m gutted I won’t be able to fight in front of everyone in [Australia]. To everyone who supports me, I’m sorry. This has been frustrating, but I know I’m making the right decision.
“Hopefully me and [Alex Perez] can run it back next year,” continued Kara-France.
