Today’s UFC Paris event was co-headed by a long-awaited lightweight match with Mauricio Ruffy who is taking on Benoit Saint Denis.
Ruffy (12-2 MMA) competed for the first time since he eliminated King Green with a rotating wheel kick at the UFC 313 event of March. ‘One Shot’ had gone 3-0 in the Octagon Prior to today’s affair, this while earning profits on James Llontop and Jamie Mullarkey during that piece.
In the meantime, Benoit Saint Denis (15-3 MMA) became the most previously seen in action in May of this year, where he scored a second round of submission on Kyle Prepolec. Before that, the ‘God of War’ came from back-to-back knockout losses for Renato Micano and Dustin Poirier respectively.
The UFC Paris Co-Main event this afternoon resulted in a phenomenal show for the Frenchman of Birth Tate in Benoit Saint Denis. The ‘God of War’ was able to get the battle on the floor early and often, while he smothered Mauricio Ruffy with constant pressure and strikes. After eating a hard standing knee in the opening moments of round 2, ‘BSD’ was once again able to get the fight to the floor where he passed Ruffy stitched out with a face crank / choke followed.

Absolutely a groin strike, but strange to see the time -out that is called after all this time and if it was clear that Dean did not see it.
