5 fights to make in the UFC flyweight division

#4. Kai Kara-France vs. Moreno & Figueiredo winner

Kai Kara-France is deserving of a title shot after recently extending his win streak to three. Giving Askar Askarov his first professional loss in what was an incredible fight, 'Don't Blink' precursed this with finishes over Rogerio Bontorin and Cody Garbrandt.

With the New Zealander having won 4 of his last 5, and always putting on a fantastic performance, he's well-deserving of a shot at the title. The only issue is that the UFC will most likely book the fourth fight between Moreno and Figueiredo as the next title fight.

Kara-France could sit out and wait for the belt, after all there's nobody left above him in the rankings to fight except for the two participants in the previously mentioned and probable next flyweight championship fight. The 29-year-old dispatched former Bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt and gave Askarov his only notch in his loss column; these victories will be enough to keep him in mind after the title picture is cleared of any confusion.

#3. Alex Perez vs. Brandon Royval & Matt Schnell winner

Since losing a chance at the belt when facing the current champion, Figueiredo, in 2020, Perez has been inactive. With the 125lb division not being the most popular, inactivity isn't in a fighter's best interest when being a part of the division.

Winning 3 of his last 5, Perez is still a top contender and shouldn't be too far off from another title shot. A fight against the winner of Matt Schnell and Brandon Royval would be a great one to see who should be part of the flyweight top 5.

Matt Schnell is making quite the leap in the rankings; he's no. 14 in the division, taking on the 6th ranked fighter. The winner of this fight should sit right outside of the division's top 5 fighters. Pair the winner with a returning Perez and that's a fight that'll be indicative of the next title contender should the division move at a steady pace.
