what time does the fight between Benoît Saint Denis and Renato Moicano start?

For the third time in three years, the UFC returns to Paris for an exceptional event, at the Accor Arena. Without Ciryl Gane, it is Benoît Saint Denis who is placed at the top of the bill on Saturday in the main event, against Renato Moicano. The Frenchman will have the honor of closing the evening.

This is the shock of this evening. For the third year in a row, the UFC is taking a detour to Paris and the noisy crowd of the Accor Arena. If the French William Gomis or even Morgan Charrière are present like last year for this UFC Paris 2024, no Ciryl Gane this year. His replacement in the main event was easily found.

To close this evening in Bercy, Benoît Saint Denis will share the octagon, for a maximum of five five-minute rounds, with the experienced Brazilian Renato Moicano.

What time does the Benoît Saint Denis fight start?

If the start of the UFC Paris 2024 card is to be followed on Saturday from 6 p.m., on the RMC Sport Twitch, you will have to wait until 8:30 p.m. to watch the main card and therefore later to see Benoît Saint enter Denis in the cage.

After the battles of Farès Ziam, Morgan Charrière and Kévin Joussetplace for the last three, those of William Gomis and Nassourdine Imavov, before the main event (main fight) of Benoît Saint Denis, which will be followed around 11:30 p.m., on RMC Sport 1 and RMC Sport Découverte.

“You will have the promised war”

The first main event of “BSD” at the UFC will therefore take place in Paris, in front of its audience. After the disillusionment experienced in March against Dustin Poirierthe Frenchman, who promises “a war”, wants to return to victory and relaunch himself in this light weight category (-70kg). Facing him Renato Moicano (9th), a dangerous Brazilian expert in grappling and jiu-jitsu. On a series of three consecutive victories, the native of Brasilia intends to continue to have a string of successes, and then “offer himself a big fight.”

This main fight promises to be explosive, with two fighters who have barely known the decision. If the “God of War” never reached a third round, Moicano waited for the judges’ verdict only five times in 16 fights in the UFC.
