The Ultimate Fighting Championship is set to return to Paris this fall.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced on Tuesday that it will hold an event at Accor Arena in Paris on Sept. 28. This will be the third consecutive year that the UFC will travel to France. No bouts were announced for the card.
“We are returning to Paris for the third straight year,” said UFC CEO Dana White in a release. This is another one of those destinations that I would have to tell fans if you’ve never been to a fight in Paris, you should probably order your tickets now. See you there in September!”
The promotion made its inaugural trip to Paris on Sept. 3, 2022 for UFC Fight Night 209. In the main event, Ciryl Gane defeated Tai Tuivasa via third-round TKO, while Robert Whittaker took a unanimous verdict against Marvin Vettori in the co-headliner.
The organization returned for UFC Fight Night 226 this past September, where Gane scored a second-round stoppage of Sergey Spivak in the evening’s featured bout. In the co-main event, Manon Fiorot outpointed former strawweight queen Rose Namajunas in a 125-pound affair.
