UFC 277 press conference: All the key quotes from title challenger Kai Kara-France

DALLAS – If Kai Kara-France wants a UFC belt around his waist, he’ll have to do it by going through someone with a win over him.

Kara-France (24-9 MMA, 7-2 UFC) takes on former champion Brandon Moreno (19-6-2 MMA, 7-3-2 UFC) for the interim flyweight title with champ Deiveson Figueiredo currently sidelined. The two first fought in 2019, when Moreno won a unanimous decision. In the rematch at UFC 277, Moreno is more than a 2-1 favorite at Tipico Sportsbook.

Thursday, Moreno and Kara-France faced off verbally at the UFC 277 pre-fight news conference in Dallas. Then they faced off physically with a staredown ahead of Friday’s weigh-ins and Saturday’s co-main event.

UFC 277 takes place Saturday at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

Check out all the quotes from Kara-France at the UFC 277 press conference below, as well as a video replay of the event.
