UFC Paris: Renato Moicano vs. Benoit Saint Denis: Fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue, and more
UFC Paris is set to bring an action-packed event to Paris, France, to awe the fans on Sept. 28. Two lightweight dynamos are set to headline the highly anticipated card, which will take place at the Accor Arena, Paris.
Renato Moicano (19-5-1) pits his experience against the highly touted Benoit Saint Denis (13-2-1), who's on a mission to rebound from his loss against Dustin Poirier at UFC 299 earlier this year. Moicano isn't afraid to rock some boats, as the brash-mouth Brazilian has called out every man willing to lock horns with him. The same attitude earned him a spot on the coveted UFC 300 card, where the 35-year-old defeated Jalin Turner via second-round TKO.
The co-main event would see a home-turf advantage carrying Nassourdine Imavov (14-4-0) looking to propel his advance toward the middleweight title picture, but the task could prove daunting as the man standing in his way is rising American prospect, Brendan Allen, who'd be looking to extend his winning streak to eight.
Many more attractions await the French MMA fans, with Bryan Battle, Matt Frevola, William Gomis, and Alin Perez, among others, illuminating the promotion's return to Paris.

This will mark the UFC's third straight visit to France. In September 2022, the promotion made its roaring debut in the city of love, which saw a barn-burner contest between heavyweights Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa, where 'Bon Gamin' ended the night with a fury of punches in the third round. The Frenchman was even quicker with the result the next time around when he finished Russia's Sergei Spivac in the second round.
This year, promising lightweight phenom Benoit Saint Denis would look to continue the streak of Frenchmen finishing their opponents in the main event.
