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

It is the fourth year in a row the UFC has travelled to the French capital, with the country only legalising MMA in 2020.

No headliner has been announced, but the UFC has several French stars to chose from.

Heavyweight Ciryl Gane, lightweight Benoit Saint Denis, recent flyweight title challenger Manon Fiorot and middleweight Nassourdine Imavov will all be contenders to be the main event.

None of them have a fight booked on that night.

Saint Denis headlined the 2024 event, losing to Renato Moicano.

The UFC travels to Azerbaijan on 21 June, with Welshman Oban Elliott in action, but is yet to announce any other European shows in 2025, having been to London in March.
