Two of the UFC's biggest lightweight names have reportedly signed on for a five-round fight in Paris.
Fans in Paris, France will get to cheer on one of the country’s most popular names when the UFC returns to the Accor Arena with a huge lightweight matchup.
Paris is set to host a UFC Fight Night event for the third year in a row on September 28, and from the moment the event was confirmed fans have been speculating about what fight might serve as the card's headlining attraction.Mar 9, 2024; Miami, Florida, USA; Benoit Saint Denis fights Dustin Poirier during UFC 299 at Kayesa Center.

The fact that the two men signed on for a five-round fight is a strong indicator that they may headline UFC Paris, but given that the UFC has also started to book more five-round co-main events the promotion may still have something else big planned for a fight card that currently only has three scheduled bouts.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
