After suffering consecutive defeats against Khamzat Chimaev and Alex Morono in 2020, 'Skeletor' was removed from the UFC roster. However, McKee returned to Cage Warriors and became the welterweight champion. He is currently on a three-fight winning streak.

However, Ange Loosa encountered a setback when he was withdrawn from his welterweight matchup against Josh Quinlan at UFC Vegas 72 in April. Loosa's current record stands at 1-1 in the promotion. 'The Last Ninja' achieved his first victory inside the octagon against AJ Fletcher last August. Loosa also competed in the DWCS, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss against Jack Della Maddalena.

The current UFC Paris roster on September 2 also includes:

Rose Namajunas vs. Manon Fiorot (Women's flyweight)

William Gomis vs. Lucas Almeida (featherweight)

Volkan Oezdemir vs. Azamat Murzakanov (light heavyweight)
