“Both guys love to come forward. Both guys like to strike. We both have knockouts on our record, so we’ll settle it in the middle… I see it going one way and that’s with my hand raised,” said Kara-France.
“I see myself putting away Cody and then getting a title shot and early in 2022. You’ll see me fighting for the title and winning a rematch against Brandon Moreno,” he added.

The UFC flyweight champion, Brandon Moreno, will take on Deiveson Figueiredo for a trilogy bout. The fight will take place at the upcoming event of UFC 270 next year. In the same interview, Kai Kara-France weighed in on what he thinks will happen at UFC 270.
He said, “I think he’s going to get past Figueiredo. You know, the third fight. I feel like it’s going to go similar to the second. I feel like Figueiredo’s camp with Cejudo isn’t going to make too much of a difference, you know. He’s going to always do what he does, and that’s just be aggressive and come forward. So I think Brandon is a bit too crafty and he’ll find a finish.”
