Kai Kara-France was last seen in action about a year ago against Brandon Moreno at UFC 277. Fighting for the interim flyweight champion, the 30-year-old ended up suffering a third-round TKO loss in what was his second defeat to Moreno in three years.

Kai Kara-France is set to return to the octagon later this weekend. The No.3 ranked flyweight will take on Amir Albazi at UFC Fight Night on June 4.

Ahead of his bout this weekend, Kara-France sat down for an appearance on The MMA Hour where he discussed his loss to Brandon Moreno.

Kara-France said:

"I left it in the cage. I didn't take it with me. I was proud of the camp I put together. I was winning that fight until I wasn't, and there's some positives that we can take away from it. It just shows that I'm right there with the best guys. Moreno's a great fighter, a great champion, did great against Figgy, and made it look easy. It just showed that we're right there."
