The value of having veteran teammates who have experienced all the highs and lows one could imagine in a sport has never been more apparent in the case of the UFC's Kai Kara-France.
A fight is one of the most unpredictable events in sports. Former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver often spoke of his love for great pitching and three-run homers as the key to a winning team. A three-run homer in baseball can change the course of a game with one swing.
But UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya showed the folly of that line of thinking at UFC 287 on April 8 in Miami, Florida. Adesanya was the challenger that night and had been previously knocked out twice by Alex Pereira. Adesanya refused to let those defeats define him and he scored the last measure of revenge when he regained his title by knocking out Pereira in the second round.
"That last one we had, you could say I was winning until I wasn't," Kara-France told Yahoo Sports."Look, Brandon is a great fighter and we're all fighting the best fighters in the world here. He's a great champion. He just won again over Figgy [ex-champion Deiveson Figueiredo] and he put him away pretty easily. So it shows that I'm right there."
Kara-France was bitterly disappointed to lose to Moreno, but he saw the way Adesanya had handled losses to Pereira and Jan Błachowicz and he knew that if he wanted to get back on top, he'd have to do the same.
