The UFC rolled into the Accor Arena for UFC Paris: Imavov vs. Borralho, and the home crowd got a fairy-tale ending—French fighters went a flawless 5–0. From Nassourdine Imavov’s measured main-event win over Caio Borralho to Benoit Saint-Denis’ clutch finish, Paris delivered drama, noise, and signature moments.
Imavov’s jab and counter timing kept Borralho off-rhythm for five rounds, securing a clean scorecard sweep and reaffirming his place among the division’s most polished strikers. It capped a night when every local favorite—the likes of William Gomis, Axel Sola, Oumar Sy, and BSD—delivered.

In the co-main, Mauricio Ruffy came out hot—but BSD stayed calm, flipped the wrestling switch, and closed with a slick choke in Round 2. That’s the Benoit Saint-Denis blueprint the division fears: pressure, takedown chains, and a vice-grip finish.
Elsewhere on the main card, Modestas Bukauskas scored a first-round KO over veteran Paul Craig—a bout that became the Scotsman’s final walk.

From first prelim to final horn, the building rocked. European crowds are built different—and Paris showed it from the opening walkouts.
There is no better place to watch UFC than in Europe. Packed out for the first fight on the prelims.
