Ricardo Lamas likes Kai Kara-France at +200, arguing the rematch is far closer than markets imply. He noted that Kara-France has spent the last nine years under Eugene Bareman at City Kickboxing, shoring up his wrestling and stuffing several Pantoja shots late in their Ultimate Fighter bout. Lamas emphasized Kara-France’s one-punch power and Pantoja’s willingness to eat clean strikes—Pantoja is hit on 46% of head attempts, one of the worst marks among ranked flyweights. If Kara-France can keep the fight upright early, Lamas believes Pantoja’s smaller frame and hittability create knockout opportunities. Even if takedowns come later, Lamas expects Kara-France to bank early damage on the cards and turn this into a coin-flip, making the +200 price a strong value play.
