UFC Fight Night Paris was an electrifying event, but it ended on a somewhat disappointing note. In the main fight, much to the dismay of the local fans, Renato Moicano defeated Benoit Saint-Denis with a TKO.

Following a punishing first round where Moicano dominated with his wrestling and strikes on the ground, Saint-Denis was left battered, with visible swelling around both eyes and blood covering his face. Incredibly, he managed to weather the storm of the first round and returned to secure victory in the second round.

However, the doctor at the Octagon intervened and halted the match when Saint-Denis did not pass a vision examination prior to the start of the third round.

In the co-main event, Nassourdine Imavov secured an important victory in a middleweight bout. Despite struggling in the opening round where Allen dominated, Imavov came back strong, claiming victory in the final two rounds and reinforcing his position among the Top 5 in the middleweight category.

Let's take a moment to review all the individuals who received bonuses in Paris.

Main Card Highlights: UFC Fight Night Paris

Here’s a summary of the outcomes. All the final placements are emphasized in bold, and key points are noted.

Herb Dean's stoppage might have come a bit too late in this fight, as Battle launched a relentless attack on Jousset without receiving any response for about 10 seconds. Nevertheless, Battle emerges victorious and continues to advance in his career.

Charriere has the potential to become a star, and he demonstrated some of that talent with his knockout victory over Miranda. He possesses exceptional athleticism, showcasing his explosive abilities in the ring.

It’s tough to come across a more brutal knockout delivered by a knee during a standing back shift. Frevola dropped his guard against Ziam’s knee strike, and he certainly faced the consequences.
