UFC Paris went down yesterday (Sat. September 28, 2024) at the Accor Arena in Paris, France Renato Moicano Loss Benoit Saint Denis Forcing a doctor to stop after he severely cut him open (see it again here). In the co-main event Nassourdine Imavov secured a major unanimous decision victory Brendan Allen (summary here).

Biggest winner: Renato Moicano

For all the talk about the usual monsters in the lightweight division, Moicano has been lurking in the shadows for some time. But the Brazilian bomber is ready to step out of the darkness and into the light of the top 10 thanks to his impressive four-fight winning streak, which includes his victory over Saint Denis in France. In fact, Moicano was precise with his ground-and-pounds, landing razor-sharp elbows and punches that ended up shattering his opponent’s face quite badly. After 10 minutes it was so bad that the doctor at the cage had no choice but to stop the damage, much to the chagrin of the crowd. Now that Moicano is 6-1 in his last seven fights, he can expect to reach the top 10 and compete in the bigger fights that come with it.

Runners-up: Morgan Charriere, Fares Ziam

Imavov got a big win over Allen and moved up the rankings, but the win wasn’t very dominant or entertaining. That’s why we’re giving Charriere and Ziam our love this week after their huge knockout victories Gabriel Miranda And Matt Frevolarespectively. In the second round of his featherweight bout against Miranda, Charriere landed a massive left hook that put “The Fly” on his butt and sent the crowd into an uproar (see here). Before that, however, Ziam set the bar high for knockouts on the night thanks to his massive and devastating standing knee knockout win over “Steamrolla,” which earned him a cool $50,000 in bonus money after the fight (watch it here). once). . With such gains, they can expect their stocks to rise.

Biggest loser: Brendan Allen

In mixed martial arts (MMA), a balloon can be deflated faster than it takes to fill. That’s exactly what happened to Allen, who watched the momentum he had spent two years building – which included seven straight wins – go up in smoke after a subpar performance. In fact, Allen went head-to-head with Imavov for 15 minutes. However, Allen lacked the performance, he could have moved into the top 5 and taken one step closer to winning the title with a win. It was quite disappointing to see his performance as he was going full throttle during his winning streak but was running on “E” in one of the biggest fights of his career. Now. Allen will have to go back to the drawing board and start over, which isn’t easy in the 185-pound class.
