Hooker welcomes Parnasse in the main event

UFC's August 31 preview confirms Dan Hooker against Salahdine Parnasse as the five-round lightweight main event on Saturday, September 5, at Accor Arena in Paris. The bout is Parnasse's first UFC appearance; the promotion does not advertise it as a championship contest.

September 2 update: replacement and revised order

Verified at 22:50 UTC: UFC’s September 1 update says Mairon Santos withdrew due to illness and Pavel Andrusca replaces him against Nathaniel Wood. The current event page and fight-by-fight preview agree on 14 bouts. This revises Fight Atlas’s August 31 snapshot of 13 fights; it does not date the replacement announcement to today.

Six bouts form the main card

Below Hooker–Parnasse, UFC lists Fares Ziam–Axel Sola, Michael Page–Nursulton Ruziboev, Daniil Donchenko–Punahele Soriano, Kurtis Campbell–Trevor Peek and Losene Keita–Muhammad Naimov. Campbell–Peek now occupies the main-card position previously assigned to Charriere–Lima.

Eight preliminary matchups

The preview lists Morgan Charriere–Felipe Lima, Mario Pinto–Ryan Spann, Oumar Sy–Modestas Bukauskas, Nathaniel Wood–Pavel Andrusca, Michael Aljarouj–Fabia Sintes, Nora Cornolle–Klaudia Sygula, Matthieu Letho Duclos–Luis Felipe Dias and Delphine Benouaich–Sofia Montenegro on the prelims.

Fight Atlas has revised the event desk without changing fighter records or adding championship markers. Bouts remain scheduled, not completed, and the promotion may revise the card again.
