“It’s the sport of the future”: the MMA generation shook the Accor Arena

It’s impressive a French fan of the UFC. He has never seen a fight, on his soil, of the biggest MMA league in the world. And for good reason, before this evening of Saturday September 3 at the Accor Arena, there had never been one. And yet, he knows everything, masters everything down to the smallest finesse of the rules. A passing head, he puts a name on it and gives it a standing ovation. If it is Georges Saint-Pierre, the Canadian who remains one of the greatest champions in the history of this sport, he prostrates himself while ordinary mortals are unaware of his name.
