ESPN Correspondent Brett Okamoto tweets “Kai Kara-France gets Cody Garbrandt out of there in the first round. Dropped him with a right hand and never looked back. Garbrandt nearly prolonged it with a slick takedown, but Kara-France got back up, patient about the finish. Big win. Garbrandt falls to 1-5 in last six.”
