The UFC octagon will once again land in Paris for a Fight Night show in September, the promotion announced Tuesday. The event, which has no bouts announced at the moment, will take place at the Accor Arena on Sept. 6.
This will be the fourth time UFC visits Paris since 2022. All three previous cards drew over 15,000 fans for a total combined gate of over $11 million at the same venue.
The UFC’s latest event in France was held in Sept. 2024, when Renato Moicano spoiled the French party by dominating and finishing Benoit Saint Denis.
The other two events, in September of 2023 and 2022, had local heavyweight Ciryl Gane victorious in the main event by knocking out Serghei Spivac and Tai Tuivasa.
The UFC roster currently includes a number of fighters that call France home, including Nassourdine Imavov, Manon Fiorot, Fares Ziam, Oumar Sy, and the aforementioned Gane and Saint Denis.
