The UFC has announced multiple fights for the upcoming UFC Paris card, set to go down in France's capital in September.

September means one thing for European MMA fans, a return to France for UFC Paris. From the Accor Arena, the event always delivers fireworks. From Ciryl Gane putting on a clinic against Tai Tuivasa to Nassourdine Imavov dominating Caio Borralho, the Parisian fans always turn out and create a phenomenal atmosphere.

The UFCs return to Paris is scheduled to yet again take place in the Accor Arena on Septmeber 5th. As of yet, no headliner has been announced for the card, however, multiple interesting fights have recently been announced by the UFC.

UFC Paris Fight Announcements

Michael Venom Page vs Nursulton Ruziboev

Michael 'Venom' Page will return to action and look to make it four straight as he takes on Nursulton Ruziboev. The Brit is 4-1 in the UFC, however, is yet to register a finish, something that made him so famous throughout his time in Bellator. MVP has enjoyed impressive performances against Shara Magomedov, Jared Cannonier and Sam Patterson.

Ruziboev is also looking to go four straight after defeating Eric McConico, Dustin Stoltzfus and Andrey Pulyaev. Unlike Page, Ruziboev has registered four finishes in five UFC wins. Most recently, he submitted Pulyaev in under four minutes in June 2026.

Losene Keita vs Muhammad Naimov

Losene Keita will be looking to bounce back from losing on his UFC debut as he takes non Muhammad Naimov. It hasn't been a strong start to life for Keita in the UFC. He was scheduled to debut in Paris last year against Patricio Pitbull, however, after missing weight, the fight was scrapped. He eventually made his debut against Nathnaiel Wood in London in March, however, lost a split decision.

Naimov will also be looking to bounce back from a recent loss as his two fight winning run was snapped when he was finished by Marion Santos at UFC 323. He holds a UFC record of 5-2 and will pose an interesting threat to Keita.

Nora Cornolle vs Klaudia Sygula

France's own, Nora Cornolle will return to action at UFC Paris as she clashes with fellow European Klaudia Sygula. The 36 year old began her UFC career with back to back victories, including a finish over Melissa Mullins. She dropped a split decision to Jacqueline Cavalcanti, however, bounced back with a strong victory against Hailey Cowan with a second round finish. Back to back losses have stunted her progression, however. She still sits at #13 in the division.

Poland's Sygula has a record of 8-2. She dropped her UFC debut, however, has put two striaght wins together since then. She's defeated Irina Alekseeva and Priscila Cachoeira by decision and will look to snatch Cornolle's ranking away from her with a win in Paris. Training alongside some of the best at ATT in Florida, Sygula is well placed to do just that.

Oumar Sy vs Modestas Bukauskas

Don't blink because this one is likely to be fireworks. France's own Oumar Sy has nine total finishes in a range of different methods. He'll be hungry to get back to winning ways after losing to Ion Cutelaba last time out. The 6'4" Frenchman has all the attributes to be a big star and that push will start at UFC Paris. It won't be easy, however, as he stands across from someone just as hungry as him.

Modestas Bukauskas' second UFC stint has been extremely impressive. Signing back with the promotion after a dissappointing first run, he went 6-1 with three finishes before running into Nikita Krylov, who abruptly stopped his winning streak. He would bounce back last time out in a lacklustre performance against a late notice opponent and will be looking to get back to dominant ways at UFC Paris.

Kurtis Campbell vs Trevor Peek

It wasn't the UFC debut that 'The Pink Panther', Kurtis Campbell had planned after such an impressive performance on Dana White's Contender Series. Following a strong start to his career with a record of 6-0, Campbell got his chance on the Contender Series and took it. Finishing his opponent in 1:20, it was clear that he was ready to take the step up. He ran in to Danny Silva in London, however, and suffered his first professional loss, coming via knockout. He'll hope to have the European fans behind him as he looks to pick up his first UFC win.

Trevor Peek will look to inflict another knockout loss on the record of Campbell and snap a two-fight losing skid at UFC Paris. The American, like Campbell gained a contract on the Contender Series and picked up a performance of the night bonus with his first win. Since then, he's gone 1-3, dropping his last two straight. He's been out of action since 2024 and will be looking to get back to winning ways in Paris.

Mario Pinto vs Ryan Spann

Mario Pinto is a highly regarded prospect at heavyweight, however, if his last outing is anything to go by, he has a long way to go. The undefeated 28 year old has 12 wins with eight finishes. He's 3-0 in the UFC, but last time out he went the distance with Felipe Franco, a short notice opponent.

Ryan Spann is far more expereicned with 35 professional fights, but with that experience comes miles on the clock. He's suffered eight losses via finish, but since moving up to heavyweight has gone 2-1 and recorded two finishes. The winner of this one will likely see a number next to their name.
