The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns following the holiday weekend break for Saturday's Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

The main event features a pair of top-10 flyweights, with Amir Albazi as the -120 favorite at BetMGM against Kai Kara-France (+100). Kara-France has drawn 66 percent of the total fight bets and 74 percent of the money.

Kara-France (24-10) will be in the octagon for the first time since losing for a second time to Brandon Moreno at UFC 277 last July. That snapped a three-fight win streak for the New Zealander. He'll face a stiff opponent in Albazi, who is 16-1 and has not lost since joining UFC.

The winner could be in line to fight next against Moreno for the flyweight belt.

The main card starts at 9 p.m. ET and includes five other fights.

Daniel Pineda (+145) vs. Alex Caceres (-175): Pineda is another popular underdog in the featherweight fight, having drawn 61 percent of the bets and 52 percent of the money.

Jim Miller (-275) vs. Jesse Butler (+200): The action has been split, with Butler backed by 69 percent of the bets while Miller has drawn 62 percent of the money in the lightweight fight.

Victor Altamirano (+130) vs. Tim Elliott (-160): Another fight with split action in the flyweight division, Altamirano has been supported by 57 percent of the bets as the underdog while Elliott has drawn 72 percent of the money.

Karine Silva (-165) vs. Ketlen Souza (+135): Silva has drawn the heavy money action with 82 percent courtesy of some big bets. Souza has slightly more total bets backing her with 52 percent in the women's flyweight fight.

Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (-145) vs. Abubakar Nurmagomedov (+120): Nurmagomedov, the cousin of former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, has the famous name and one-sided support from the public with 84 percent of the bets and 83 percent of the money in the welterweight fight.
