UFC 305 Gets Major Title Eliminator Fight

Kara-France last fought in June 2023, losing a contentious decision to Amir Albazi. He was booked to face Manel Kape in September 2023 but withdrew with a concussion. Despite his rocky year, Kara-France still gets his chance for redemption against Erceg.

Erceg is no slouch, however. He last fought for the flyweight title at UFC 301, losing a razor-thin decision to Pantoja in a five-round slugfest. Some fans and pundits thought Erceg did enough to win, and it was the difference of a round on two judges' scorecards.
