UFC 317 results, the most prominent points: Alexander Pantoza is under the ease of the fly weight title
Indeed, one of the best pound against the pound in the game, Alexander Pantoja, UFC weight champion, continued on Saturday that he is improving with age.
Pantoja (30-5), 35 years old from Brazil, dominated Kai Kara France on the ground before presenting it in Round 3 by rear congestion in the joint event of the payment card for each UFC 337 offer from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Victory, which represented the fourth Pantoja defense for its 125 -length title, also created his name in standard books in the weight of the UFC fly while moving to the first place to get most victories (14), finishing (8) and the presentations (6) in the date of the department.
As in the opening round, Banduja opened the third round by rushing to Kara France (25-12, 1 North Carolina) with a wave of strikes in order to support him to the cage, from there, Pantuga took his opponent down and took his back immediately with the body triangle before his way slows down to the Mukhtar.
Bandukha, who never stopped in his 35 -year career, scored in his twelfth career in general and ninth through a rear strangle.
“I always train in this position, but I am still developing,” Pantoja said. “I came from the American Top Team, which is the best team in the world. This is the fourth title defense, I think I deserve a better arrangement in the pound.”
Bandukha has not developed his fitness into a global level since his victory in the title, as he became more efficient and confident in his attack. The hero clearly removed his feet from gas in a near round 2, but he still gathered to support the Kara-France in the last minute with kicks to the body, including those that left a bright red spot on the middle of his opponent.
Kara France, 32, from New Zealand, has been fighting for the third time since 2022, but she won the title on the basis of his leaving in the first round of the former title competitor Steve Irseg last August. Kara France, who lost for the third time in his last four battles, has benefited from the fact that Panotga entered 2025 with a 9-0 score against the fly fly in the first ten.
After winning, Bandukha retreated with Joshua Van, who is 23 years old, who scored the most impressive victory in his young career earlier at night when he reached competitor 1 Brandon Ruaaina in a battle per year. Van (15-2), who just arrested Bruno Silva three weeks ago at UFC 316, was filled with a late Manil Cap notification to secure the title of Pantoja.
“[Van] “A modest man, deserves a shot on the next title,” Pantoja said.
