UFC set for Paris return on September 6

The Ultimate Fighting Champions (UFC) will return to the French capital city of Paris in September for another mouth-watering fight night, Afrosport reports.

The UFC has announced a fight night on Saturday, 6 September at the prestigious Accor Arena in Paris.

Organisers, however, have yet to announce the event’s lineup or headliner, but it marks the fourth straight year the UFC has held an event in Paris since France legalised mixed martial arts (MMA) in 2020.

The last UFC event at Accor Arena was held on Saturday, 28 September 2024, and Renato Moicano overcame Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis by total knockout in the second round of their lightweight bout following a doctor stoppage.

Heavyweight Ciryl Gane, Saint-Denis, recent flyweight title challenger Manon Fiorot, and middleweight Nassourdine Imavov are some of the possible names to make up the main event.
