The UFC will be making its annual September stop in beautiful Paris, France today, and thanks to the time difference, it will air nice and early for viewers on North American soil.
Like most of the UFC’s stops in “The City of Light” to date, this one looks like it could be very entertaining.
The main event will be contested at lightweight, where long-term contender Dan Hooker will take on debuting Frenchman Salahdine Parnasse. It’s definitely a bit unusual for an Octagon newcomer to get a headlining spot on a UFC card, but Parnasse is a huge star in his home country, and a world-class talent the promotion has been trying to sign for ages. In fact, he’ll enter the cage with his veteran opponent as a huge betting favorite.
The co-main event will also be contested at lightweight, as Fares Ziam and Axel Sola collide in all-France showdown. Earlier on the broadcast, we’ll see the enigmatic Michael “Venom” Page return to middleweight to take on Nursulton Ruziboev, as well as appearances from a number of rising prospects and entertaining veterans.
As always, B/R will have you covered for complete results and highlights of the action in Paris.
The undercard will kick off at noon ET, and the main card will follow at 3:00 pm.
