Headlining fighters for UFC Paris, Ciryl Gane and Serghei Spivac, have successfully made weight, setting the stage for an epic clash. Meanwhile, the former strawweight queen, Rose Namajunas, has officially transitioned to a flyweight, sealing the deal for her upcoming bout against Manon Fiorot.
For this Saturday’s much-anticipated event, 22 fighters stepped on the scales to weigh-in. Among them, only one competitor in the preliminary matches stumbled on the scales: Zarah Fairn, who exceeded her weight limit by a half-pound in a 140-pound catchweight match against Jacqueline Cavalcanti. The event organizers announced that Fairn had an additional 60 minutes to hit the mark and had received medical clearance to keep shedding weight.
This weekend’s UFC Paris action unfolds at the Accor Arena, and if you’re wondering where to catch all the fights—worry not! The entire event will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN+.
In the limelight of the main event, Ciryl Gane, the ex-interim heavyweight champ, weighed in at an imposing 250 pounds. This marks his return to the Octagon after his unsuccessful attempt to secure the vacant title, now in the grasp of Jon Jones. His opponent, Spivac, tipped the scales at an even more intimidating 256 pounds, capitalizing on the momentum of three consecutive victories to set up the most significant bout of his career so far.
Switching gears to the co-main event, Rose Namajunas marked her UFC flyweight debut by perfectly meeting the 125-pound benchmark. She squares off against Manon Fiorot, who’s currently on a five-win hot streak inside the Octagon.
