According to an MMA icon, Alexandre Pantoja could be waking up against Kai Kara-France in a gross awakening.
The Brazilian is planned to make the next defense of his flight weight title later tonight at UFC 317 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, US.
In recent years, the champion has proven itself as one of the best in the history of the division. Pantoja finished ruthless Matt Schnell and recently dominated Kai Asakura.
However, he will have to be on his A game to overcome against one of the best in New Zealand.

Tom Aspinall says that Kai Kara-France Alexandre Pantoja could hit with his wild strikes
Tom Aspinall assesses Alexandre Pantoja extremely high.
However, he pointed out that the gifted competitor must look out for the unorthodox striking game of Kai Kara-France.
In an episode of Tom Aspinall's Fight Lab, he said: “These guys get no respect because of the power, but this guy, Kai Kara-France, he is someone who has power and he is dangerous.
“He will be relatively low with his hands, and he just throws away here with his entire body weight, ahead with uppercuts and hooks.
“Often he will not do it up close, he will slowly bring the feet in and then just start with the wing of them, which is very exciting. In my opinion, what we need in the flight weight distribution is.”
