UFC flyweight contender Kai Kara-France reacted after brutally knocking out former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt at UFC 269.<\/p>\n

Kara-France entered the fight as the underdog despite being much more proven in the UFC flyweight division<\/a>. As Garbrandt is a former UFC champ, he got the respect of coming into this fight as a small betting favorite. However, it was apparent quickly that the odds were wrong and that this was Kara-France’s fight to lose. Needed just one round to get the job done, Kara-France dropped Garbrandt twice with punches before finishing him via TKO.<\/p>\n

For Kara-France, beating Garbrandt is by far the biggest win of his MMA career to date. With back-to-back knockout wins over Garbrandt and Rogerio Bontorin in 2021 alone, Kara-France has all sorts of momentum heading into 2022. At this point, he could be just one more win away from fighting UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno in a potential rematch. Remember, the two fought two years ago at UFC 245, with Moreno edging out a close decision, which shows that Kara-France is close to joining the 125lbs division’s elite.<\/p>\n

Taking to his social media<\/a> after knocking out Garbrandt at UFC 269, Kara-France reacted to his latest victory inside the Octagon. Take a look at what “Don’t Blink” wrote below.<\/p>\n
