Fight: Kurihara vs. Takaoka

UFC Paris delivered a huge night for French MMA as Salahdine Parnasse demolished Dan Hooker, Axel Sola flattened Fares Ziam and Losene Keita scored his first UFC win. MMAtown also went 2-for-2 with the Michael Page safer pick and Sola value pick published in our pre-fight preview.

Michael Page admits there are days MMA makes him wonder whether he “should've played golf,” but the constant evolution of martial arts keeps pulling him back. Ahead of MVP vs. Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris, Page is also committing his future to middleweight.

UFC Paris returns September 5 with Dan Hooker welcoming former KSW double champion Salahdine Parnasse to the UFC. The full 14-fight card also features Losene Keita, Michael Page and Fares Ziam, plus MMAtown's two picks for the night: Page as the safer play and Axel Sola as our value bet.
