The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tried for years to host a Fight Night card in France but was unable to do so as France had banned the sports of mixed martial arts (MMA). That ban was lifted in 2020 but the UFC could not head to France due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UFC has finally found the perfect time to visit Paris, France and host an exciting Fight Night card at the Accor Arena in Paris, France on Sep 3.
Gane vs. Tuivasa
The UFC is expecting a packed arena for its inaugural Fight Card which will be headlined by France’s biggest MMA superstar in heavyweight Ciryl Gane who will fight Aussie Tai Tuivasa. Gane is the former interim heavyweight champion who is coming off a loss to the current champ Francis Ngannou.
Gane is the better technical fighter but Tuivasa has shown that he can change the fight with one big shot!
Other Exciting Fights
MMA fans in France will be happy with this fight card as it features a number of exciting fighters such as Robert Whittaker vs. Marvin Vettori and Charles Jourdain vs. Nathaniel Wood.
