UFC 317 will headline the promotion’s 13th annual International Fight Week on June 28.
Merab Dvalishvili vs Sean O’Malley 2 was just announced as the main event for UFC 316 on June 7.
There have been no fights confirmed for the card that will take place in Las Vegas three weeks later.
However, fans think that a UFC 317 title bout has been accidentally leaked by Kai Kara-France.
Alexandre Pantoja vs Kai Kara-France set for UFC 317?
At UFC 305 last August, Kai Kara-France knocked out Steve Erceg to put himself in contention for a flyweight title shot.
125lb king Alexandre Pantoja is currently looking for an opponent after beating Kai Asakura at UFC 310 in December.
A recent post on Kara-France’s Instagram suggests he will get the next shot at Pantoja.
“Hill Sprints with UFC Flyweight Kai Kara-France,” @jaywebbo8 captioned footage of him working out with the Aussie fighter.
“12 weeks out from his upcoming fight as he is about to become UFC FLYWEIGHT CHAMP #dontblink”
In the video, Kara-France references his next fight being ‘about 12 weeks away’, which would line up with UFC 317 – but he didn’t mention an opponent or suggest he will be competing for a world title.
Fans react to accidental fight ‘leak’
News of Kara-France’s accidental fight ‘leak’ quickly spread around social media.
Fans were quick to voice their opinion on the first fight with a concrete link to UFC 317.
“They just announced a fight that hasn’t been announced in the caption,” one fan laughed. While another added: “Hopefully not a main event.”
“Most undeserving title shot maybe ever,” a third X user fumed.
“So International Fight Week co-main it is,” someone else said.
“Hope there are gonna be 3 title fights,” one wishful fan commented.
“No facts just freewheeling,” a sceptical sixth social media user wrote.
