UFC Announces Return to Paris for Fight Night Event

The Ultimate Fighting Championship will return to the French capital later this year.

The Las Vegas-based promotion announced on Tuesday that it will hold a Fight Night card at the Accor Arena in Paris on Sept. 6. No bouts were revealed for the event.

This will mark the fourth time the UFC has visited Paris since 2022. Most recently, UFC Fight Night 243 saw Renato Carneiro earn a second-round doctor stoppage victory against Benoit St. Denis in the evening’s headliner this past September. Prominent French athletes who compete in the UFC include the likes of Ciryl Gane, Manon Fiorot, Nassourdine Imavov, Fares Ziam, Oumar Sy and St. Denis.

France became a viable destination for the UFC when the country officially ended its ban on MMA in 2020.
