She couldn’t stop there. The American organization UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) has therefore decided to delight, once again, the growing number of MMA fans in France with a new evening, almost a year to the day after its first gala in the capital. We still don’t know who will be headlining but she announces “fireworks”.
“After fifteen years of preparation, our first event in Paris was incredible,” UFC President Dana White said in a statement. Sold out, the atmosphere and the fans were fantastic. The arena was packed from the first fight of the evening and no one remained seated. I look forward to producing another unforgettable evening. »

For the moment, the fights are not yet known, but they should be up to the event. Clearly dominated by the American Jon Jones at the beginning of March in his quest for the UFC world heavyweight belt, the Frenchman would make a great headliner in front of his fans.
