Fabia Sintes def. Michael Aljarouj Decision (unanimous) · R3 5:00

Fabia Sintes defeated Michael Aljarouj by unanimous decision in a flyweight preliminary bout at UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse in Paris on September 5, 2026. The fight went the full three rounds, with all three cageside judges scoring in Sintes's favor on cards of 29-28, 29-28, and 29-27. Aljarouj was making his UFC debut and had entered as a slight pre-fight favorite, but could not put Sintes away over fifteen minutes and surrendered the decision on all three scorecards.

Fight Overview

Two regional flyweight champions make their simultaneous UFC debuts at the Accor Arena, with Spanish WOW FC champion Fabia Sintes entering on a six-fight winning streak that includes two title defenses, while French Hexagone MMA champion Michael Aljarouj debuts in front of his home crowd. The collision of two champions dominant in their own organisations creates one of the card's most symmetrical and hard-to-call debut matchups.

Keys to Victory

Fabia Sintes

  1. Trust her six-fight winning streak's momentum and impose her technical striking game before Aljarouj finds his rhythm.
  2. Disrupt his home-crowd advantage by controlling the pace and denying him any early-round confidence boost.
  3. Draw on championship experience from multiple title defenses to stay composed when debut-night pressure surfaces.

Michael Aljarouj

  1. Use the Parisian crowd as fuel and push the pace early to set his rhythm before Sintes can implement her game.
  2. Show the technical precision that earned him the Hexagone title and avoid giving Sintes clean looks with reckless sequences.
  3. Channel the frustration from his overturned last result into focused, purposeful aggression without sacrificing defensive discipline.
