The UFC is targeting a men's flyweight main event fight at UFC Fight Night on June 3rd live at the UFC Apex. Kai Kara-France announced that the UFC just let him know that his originally scheduled 3-round fight with Amir Albazi will now serve as the 5-round main event.

The UFC has been getting a lot of heat for how they have been treating the men's flyweight division. They once cut a ton of the talent off the roster and thought about cutting the division as a whole. The division has since gotten back in good graces with Dana White and the UFC and has been thriving.

The UFC had one of the most prolific rivalries when Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo fought each other four times for the flyweight championship. With that said, the UFC most recently got a ton of backlash for slotting a No. 1 contender fight between Brandon Royval and Matheus Nicolau on the prelims.

That could be the reason why they decided to make this fight between Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi the main event for this fight night.

Aside from the main event fight between Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi, the rest of this fight night card is definitely an exciting one. It has some UFC veterans like Miesha Tate, Jim Miller, and Alex Caceres that anchor down this fight night card.

A win for either one of these flyweights could really put them into that title contention they have been longing for. It's going to be an exciting one for sure, so don't miss out on June 3rd live from the UFC Apex.
