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.

Keys to Victory
Fabia Sintes
- Trust her six-fight winning streak's momentum and impose her technical striking game before Aljarouj finds his rhythm.
- Disrupt his home-crowd advantage by controlling the pace and denying him any early-round confidence boost.
- Draw on championship experience from multiple title defenses to stay composed when debut-night pressure surfaces.
Michael Aljarouj
- Use the Parisian crowd as fuel and push the pace early to set his rhythm before Sintes can implement her game.
- Show the technical precision that earned him the Hexagone title and avoid giving Sintes clean looks with reckless sequences.
- Channel the frustration from his overturned last result into focused, purposeful aggression without sacrificing defensive discipline.
