UFC returns to Paris, France with a fight night show on Sept. 6 at Accor Arena nearly a year after their most recent show in the City Of Light.
The UFC made the announcement on Tuesday morning.
Paris has become a yearly destination for the UFC marking their fourth event in the city since 2022. The promotion made it’s debut there in 2022 with a headliner of Cyril Gane vs. Tai Tuivasa. Gane took the victory by TKO in the third round.
Since then many French mixed martial artists have begun to make noise in the UFC. Most recently Manon Fiorot challenged Valentina Shevchenko for the UFC flyweight title at UFC 315 in May.
Benoit Saint-Denis has made waves in the lightweight division and comes off a submission victory over Kyle Prepolec on that same card. One interesting potential matchup for the ‘God of War’ would be Mateusz Gamrot who has been calling him out recently.
Other French fighters who have been making their way in their divisions include Nassourdine Imavov, Fares Ziam, William Gomis, Morgan Charriere and Nora Cornolle.
No bouts have been announced for the card at this time.
UFC Paris takes place on Sept 6 at Accor Arena in Paris, France. The event will be a fight night.
