UFC Signs Kai Kara France

After 25 fights in other MMA organizations, flyweight fighter Kai Kara France is making his way to the UFC as the promotion recently signed the competitor to a multi-fight contract.

France learned of the news in an interesting way, as his gym set up a video message from UFC President Dana White to share the news with the flyweight.

This video was shared through Instagram, along with the reaction of France:

A newly signed France did compete on the UFC Ultimate Fighter 24, making it to the quarterfinals before losing to Alexandre Pantoja. The fighter comes to the UFC while riding a five fight winning streak, defeating Rodolfo Marques, Ze Wu, Qileng Aori, Huoyixibai Chuhayifu and Xiaoyu Shi.

There is no word given yet on when France would make his official UFC debut or whom the opponent would be on that night.
