UFC has confirmed its return to France.
The Accor Arena in Paris will play host to a Fight Night card on September 5, UFC announced on Monday.
UFC has made an annual trip out to France since 2022, just a couple of years after the country legalized MMA. Paris has proven to be a hotbed for the sport in recent years, producing numerous up-and-coming stars, hosting many high-profile regional shows, and showing up in big numbers whenever UFC has visited.
All four of UFC’s past appearances at the Accor Arena have attracted a live attendance of over 15,000 each. Their last event, a show last fall, saw the country’s own Nassourdine Imavov defeat Caio Borralho in the main event.
