Delinquent MMA

UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse takes place Saturday, September 5, 2026 at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, with prelims beginning at noon ET on Paramount+ and the main card kicking off at 3 p.m. ET. The event marks the UFC’s latest return to France and features 14 fights across two cards, including nine French fighters spread throughout the lineup. Paris has become one of the organization’s most reliable international markets, and this card reflects that with local names at nearly every level of the card.

The main event pits unbeaten KSW double champion Salahdine Parnasse (23-2) against seasoned UFC veteran Dan Hooker (24-14) in a lightweight bout that doubles as Parnasse’s promotional debut. Parnasse built his reputation over a decade competing across Europe, winning titles at featherweight and lightweight in KSW before signing with the UFC to make his debut in front of a home crowd. Hooker arrives as a meaningful test: a fighter who has shared the cage with Islam Makhachev, Dustin Poirier, and Paul Felder, and whose only recent top-level win came over Mateusz Gamrot in 2024. The co-main event adds further lightweight action with Fares Ziam (18-4) against fellow striker Axel Sola (12-1-1), both representing France on home soil.

The supporting main card features Michael Venom Page (25-3) stepping up to middleweight against ranked contender Nursulton Ruziboev (37-9-2), a welterweight bout between Russian prospect Daniil Donchenko (15-2) and veteran Punahele Soriano (13-4), and two featherweight bouts to open the card. The prelims are headlined by fan-favorite Morgan Charriere (21-12-1) against Brazil’s Felipe Lima (14-2), with a heavyweight main event between unbeaten Mario Pinto (12-0) and Ryan Spann (24-11) also drawing attention. Results update below after each fight concludes.
