How To Bet Pantoja
At this point, Pantoja is carving out a case as the second-greatest flyweight ever behind Demetrious Johnson. He’s riding a seven-fight UFC win streak and hasn’t lost since 2020.
He’s beaten Brandon Moreno (thrice), Brandon Royval (twice), and most recently finished Kai Asakura to defend his belt. Pantoja is a whirlwind of forward pressure, elite grappling, and durability. He has never been stopped in his UFC career.
He’s aggressive like a coiled anaconda on the ground, and his chin lets him wade through fire. It’s hard to see that style mixing well for a striker like Kai Kara-France.
If you’re betting Pantoja, the moneyline is safe but steep. Consider a parlay with OVER 1.5 or OVER 2.5 rounds to make it playable.
How To Bet Kara-France
Kai Kara-France is a dangerous boxer with legit KO power, but he’s struggled to stay active and consistent. Since 2022, he’s dropped a title fight to Moreno, lost a close decision to Amir Albazi, and knocked out Steve Erceg.
While that KO win was explosive, Erceg may not have been the test we thought he was. Kara-France is violent, but it’s going to take something special to dent Pantoja’s legendary durability.
If you like the underdog, you’re betting on him to land early and clean. The value is on the moneyline, not props. But tread carefully because this is a brutal stylistic matchup.

Pantoja vs. Kara-France Betting Pick
Pantoja is on another level right now, and while Kara-France is game, it’s unlikely he cracks that chin. Expect a more competitive fight than Pantoja's last, but ultimately a clean win for the champ.
