Amir Albazi emerged victorious with a split decision against former interim title contender Kai Kara-France at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Despite it being Albazi’s first bout against a flyweight ranked in the UFC’s official top five, his performance, although commendable, is unlikely to result in an immediate title opportunity.
Throughout most of the 25-minute fight, Kara-France’s defense held up well, allowing him to control the match, but the judges ultimately favored Albazi.
Both fighters experienced the challenge of going beyond three rounds for the first time, with Albazi visibly slowing down in Round 4 while Kara-France seemed to gain speed as the fight progressed.
The fight ended in a split decision, with Albazi emerging as the winner. What makes Albazi’s triumph noteworthy is that it was his first encounter with a flyweight ranked in the top five of the UFC’s official rankings.
“The 30-year-old flyweight from New Zealand engaged in a five-round battle with Amir Albazi that ended with a trio of 48-47 scorecards across the board.
The only problem for Kai Kara-France was two of those judges sided with Albazi, which means he suffers a second straight defeat after falling to Brandon Moreno in an interim flyweight title fight back in July 2022.”
