Kai Kara-France will stay on UFC 245 after all.
The New Zealander was set to take on Sergio Pettis, yet Pettis' UFC contract was expired and according to ESPN he will test free agency, leaving him to be pulled from this bout. In his stead, Brandon Moreno (15-5-1) will step up to take on Kara-France (20-7, 1 NC) at flyweight. The NZ Herald was first to report the news on Friday.
Kara-France is on an eight-fight winning streak, and has won each of his first three in the UFC.
