155-pound
Final Preventing Championship gunslingers are destined for
mayhem.
Rumor unfold all through the week in regards to the light-weight collision
between Benoit St.
Denis (14-3, 1 NC) and Mauricio
Ruffy (12-1), thanks partially to some hints dropped on social media by the
latter. On Thursday, St. Denis’ staff of Bulgarian High Crew
broke the information that the potential all-action banger has been booked
for Sept. 6. Presumably in the primary card of
UFC Paris, the 2 lightweights will cross swords with a spot
within the rankings on the road.
Acquainted Territory for One Man
This would be the fourth look for “BSD” on French soil as a
skilled, with all 4 going down within the UFC because of the previous
ban on MMA in his dwelling nation. Whereas he gained the primary two by
second-round knockout, he confronted Renato
“Cash” Moicano final yr and wanted the physician to rescue him
from additional hurt after 10 tough minutes. The Frenchman has since
rebounded by throttling Kyle
Prepolec with an arm-triangle choke in Canada this previous Could,
thus holding his end fee as a professional at 100%.
Of the 2, it’s Ruffy who has gone the gap in victory. The
Brazilian first did so in his sophomore UFC look, needing all
three rounds to get previous James
Llontop. The Preventing Nerds staple went on to wreck Bobby Inexperienced
with a spinning wheel kick in March to advance his win streak to
seven. Eleven of his 12 professional victories ended through strikes.
UFC Paris will go down on Sept. 6 within the Accor Area in
France’s capital metropolis. The struggle card often known as UFC Battle Night time
258 will likely be headlined by a middleweight contest pitting Nassourdine
Imavov towards Caio
Borralho. Further tilts seemingly serving on the primary card
embody Marcin
Tybura vs. Ante Delija
at heavyweight, in addition to a light-weight heavyweight scrap as Modestas
Bukauskas faces Paul
Craig.
