UFC to return to Paris for fight night on 6 September

The UFC has confirmed it will host a Fight Night event at the Accor Arena in Paris on 6 September, marking its fourth consecutive year in the French capital since MMA was legalised in France in 2020.

While the headline bout is yet to be announced, several top French fighters are in contention to top the card. Potential main event options include heavyweight contender Ciryl Gane, lightweight Benoit Saint Denis, flyweight title challenger Manon Fiorot, and middleweight Nassourdine Imavov—all currently without scheduled bouts for that date.

Saint Denis headlined the Paris event in 2024, where he suffered a loss to Renato Moicano.

Before the Paris card, the UFC heads to Azerbaijan on 21 June, where Welsh fighter Oban Elliott is set to compete. No additional European events have been announced for 2025 following the organisation’s stop in London this past March.
