Main Event: Parnasse Delivers
The former KSW two-division champion looked every bit like a future UFC contender from the opening exchange. Parnasse kept the fight standing and worked sharp kickboxing combinations, landing a body kick midway through round one that visibly affected Hooker. He pressed immediately after, backing Hooker to the fence and unloading with punches until referee intervention at 2:35. The Parisian crowd — enormous for a Fight Night card — erupted. In his post-fight interview, Parnasse called out Max Holloway as his next target. He earned a Performance of the Night bonus of $100,000 for the finish. Hooker drops to 24-15; Parnasse improves to 24-2 and is immediately in the lightweight contender conversation.
Co-Main Event: Sola Adds to the French Celebration
Axel Sola built on what was already becoming a night to remember for French MMA, stopping Farès Ziam in the opening round with a clean left hand and follow-up punches. The stoppage came at 3:19 of round one. Ziam carries a passionate hometown following, making the loss a tough one in front of his own supporters, but Sola's power was evident from the start. Sola also collected a Performance of the Night bonus for the finish.
Michael Page Grinds Out a Decision
Michael Page picked up a unanimous decision over Nursulton Ruziboev at middleweight in the third main card bout. Page used his distinctive movement and striking angles across three rounds, keeping Ruziboev off-balance and landing the cleaner shots through the second and third rounds. It was a workmanlike performance rather than a highlight moment, but Page got the job done.
Notable Prelim Finishes
Letho Duclos in 25 Seconds
Matthieu Letho Duclos needed just 25 seconds to put away Luis Felipe Dias with a punch stoppage in the middleweight prelim. One of the fastest finishes on the card, it sent the crowd into another wave of noise for the local fighter.
Pinto Stays Undefeated, Keita Earns a Bonus
Mário Pinto remained unbeaten with a second-round TKO over Ryan Spann in the heavyweight prelim. Pinto's ground-and-pound was controlled and damaging, and he earned a Performance of the Night bonus for the finish.
Losene Keita picked up the fourth and final Performance bonus of the night with a first-round TKO of Muhammad Naimov at 2:54 in the featherweight division. A sharp right hand put Naimov down, and the follow-up made the stoppage clean and decisive.
Benouaich and Campbell Both Finish
Delphine Benouaich submitted Sofia Montenegro with a rear naked choke at 0:38 of round two in the strawweight prelim. Kurtis Campbell also submitted Trevor Peek with a rear naked choke in round three at 1:53, rallying from an early deficit to take the featherweight bout.
The Bigger Picture
Paris delivered the kind of card the UFC needs from an international show: home-country finishes, bonus performances, and a new star created in a single night. Parnasse walked into the UFC as an unproven talent to casual fans and walked out as a legitimate lightweight title contender on paper. His callout of Max Holloway is not a reach — it is the fight that makes sense for where he lands on the rankings.
Sola's performance also matters. Two French lightweights finishing in the main and co-main in front of their home crowd gives the UFC real domestic appeal to build on in Europe. The UFC has now held five events in Paris, and the return on investment is clear.
Bukauskas's TKO of Oumar Sy with a knee strike in round two added to a prelim card that produced multiple finishes. Donchenko and Andrusca picked up decisions in the welterweight and featherweight brackets, adding to a pool of European fighters worth tracking in 2026.
The card also had a notable shadow: a heavyweight title fight between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane had been announced for this event but was cancelled before the night took place. Paris still delivered, but that matchup remains unresolved.
