A matchup between top-15 flyweights is in the works for September.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Kai Kara-France and Brandon Royval is being targeted for the UFC’s event on Sept. 26. As of now, there is no location confirmed for the fight card.
Kara-France bounced back from his first loss since December 2016 to Brandon Moreno with a unanimous decision win over Tyson Nam at February’s UFC Auckland event. Kara-France has won nine of 10 bouts and also holds octagon victories over Elias Garcia, Raulian Paiva and Mark De La Rosa.
