BREAKING: New main-event announced for UFC Fight Night event for June 3
The roster for the upcoming UFC Vegas 74 event has undergone some revisions, with the promotion of the much-awaited flyweight fight between Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi, set to take place on June 3 at the prestigious Apex facility in Las Vegas.
This news comes after Jack Hermansson, who was originally slated to compete against Brendan Allen in the main event, pulled out of the fight in late April due to an undisclosed injury. Despite this setback, fans can still look forward to an electrifying night of fights, with Kara-France and Albazi headlining the event.

After suffering a loss to reigning flyweight champion Brandon Moreno in a UFC 277 interim title fight in July 2022, 'Don't Blink' is looking to get back on the winning track in his upcoming bout against Amir Albazi. Unfortunately, a knee injury prevented him from competing at UFC 284, making this his first fight since his loss to 'The Assassin Baby'.
Kara-France faces a tough opponent in 'The Prince', who is yet to be defeated in the promotion, boasting an impressive 4-0 record. Albazi recently demonstrated his striking skills with a third-round knockout of Alessandro Costa in his most recent bout, securing his third finish in his last four fights. The 29-year-old Iraqi mixed martial artist is on an impressive five-fight winning streak overall.
