UFC Paris Betting Odds and Tips

The UFC returns to Paris, France and MMASucka provides you with our UFC Paris betting tips and predictions ahead of what promises to be an exciting night in France's capital.

The main event will see veteran Dan Hooker take on promotional newcomer Salahdine Parnasse. The debut of Parnasse has fans extremely excited as he is someone who should have gotten his shot in the big leagues many years ago. 

The co-main event will see an all French affair between Fares Ziam and Axel Sola, with both men looking to crack the top 15 at 155lbs.

UFC Paris Betting Odds and Tips

Dan Hooker Outright

Dan Hooker, despite being in the UFC for 12 years and having 24 promotional fights, is the heavy underdog in the UFC Paris main event. Although he's nearing the end of his career at 36, the New Zealander is still dangerous. He's only lost to the elite of the division, with his two most recent losses coming to Arman Tsarukyan and Benoit Saint Denis.

Prior to signing with the UFC, Salahdine Parnasse was arguably the best fighter not fighting for the promotion. With a record of 23-2 and a former two weight KSW world champion, Parnasse is certainly skilled. With that being said, he's never fought anyone like Hooker. His last fight came on the MVP card on Netflix against Kenny Cross, a man nowhere near UFC level.

Expect Hooker to give Parnasse a rude welcome to the UFC.

Michael Page to win via decision

MVP returns at welterweight to take on Nursulton Ruziboev. The Brit is enjoying a four-fight winning run, all of which have gone to a decision. He's got five UFC wins, all of which have gone the distance. He hasn't finished a fight since 2023; however, he has the skills to do so.

Against Ruziboev, he'll likely be his usual cautious self. The Uzbekistan-born welterweight is the opposite of Page and is a finishing machine. He's notched 34 finishes in 37 victories, and in the UFC, he's got four finishes in five wins.

Page will look to keep this one long, keep his distance and if he's taken down, do enough on the ground to not get finished. It won't be a fight of the year contender, but the Brit will likely win across 15 minutes.

Daniil Donchenko via finish

Ukraine's Daniil Donchenko has been on a tear since joining the UFC in 2025. After winning TUF season 25, Donchenko got his shot on the main roster. He's had three fights, two finishes and looked well-rounded in all of his outings. In June he scored a performance of the night winning knockout over Theodor Berggren in Baku and will be looking to do the same in Paris.

It's a big step up as he meets seasoned vet, Punahele Soriano. The 33 year old has had 11 UFC fights and, despite only being finished twice in his career, takes a lot of damage. If Donchenko can take the momentum that he's built up over the past few fights, he could get the statement finish in this one.
