At the end of UFC Paris 3, Benoît Saint Denis lost to Renato Moicano. The Brazilian, author of a devastating first round, disfigured the Frenchman so much that the UFC doctor ended up interrupting the fight. After this third defeat in the UFC, the “God of War” spoke with a certain bitterness.
He had to close the ball, end the evening in style. In the end, none of that. After Nassourdine Imavov’s great victory in the co-main event, the public at the Accor Arena was ready to welcome the new headliner of French MMA.
In the Bercy octagon, the hyper active Benoît Saint Denis, very generous in the middlekick, was out on Saturday evening. All it took was a mistake with a phoned kick for his Brazilian opponent to grab his leg and take “BSD” into troubled waters.
Grappling expert, Renato Moicano used his dominant position to deliver countless blows to the Frenchman. The second round resumes, the “God of war” struggles to keep his eyes open. Five minutes later, the fight was over. “He can’t see, it’s over,” announced the UFC doctor, ending the main event.
“Unfortunately I was a little sleepy in the first round,” admitted Saint Denis to Bisping’s microphone. “He (Moicano) did what was necessary to create enough damage to play the matador. I will come back stronger, I’m sorry for that, bravo to him,” he then admitted.
“You are the best audience in the world”
If the public at the Accor Arena was going crazy during the main event, Benoît Saint Denis wanted to send them a message: “Thank you for your support, thank you for coming. I am really proud to represent the flag, to having come here. You are the best audience in the world know that it’s incredible to have you by our side, your support is incredible.
After this second defeat in a row, the Frenchman, 12th before the fight, will certainly lose a few places, enough to threaten him with a potential ousting from the top 15 lightweights in the UFC?
