UFC No. 5 ranked UFC flyweight Kai Kara-France announced on his social media that he had suffered a concussion, and will not compete at UFC 293, where he was set to fight Manel Kape.
Unfortunately, I’ve had to withdraw from my next fight in Sydney, Australia: UFC 293. I suffered a concussion over the weekend in training. I’ve been speaking to my coaches, my team, and my family. They all think it’s the right decision to put my health first.
