Record: 16-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC
Opponent: Caio Borralho (17-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Israel Adesanya, Brendan Allen, Jared Cannonier, Roman Dolidze, Joaquin Buckley
Misc.: Imavov was born in Russia, but he trains in France. He’s certain to have the home fans in Paris backing him. Imavov comes into the bout on a four-fight winning streak – including a second-round bonus-winning knockout of ex-champ Adesanya in February.

Record: 17-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC
Opponent: Nassourdine Imavov (16-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Jared Cannonier, Paul Craig
Misc.: Borralho, the de factor leader of Brazil’s newly famed Fighting Nerds team, has seen his popularity soar in the past couple years. He has bonuses in three of his past four wins, including back-to-back extra checks against Craig and recent title challenger Cannonier. Borralho has won 16 straight fights over a 10-year stretch.

Record: 14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC
Opponent: Mauricio Ruffy (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC)
Division: Lightweight
Key wins: Matt Frevola, Thiago Moises, Ismael Bonfim
Misc.: France’s Saint Denis was on a major star climb with five straight finishes and three bonuses when he ran into Dustin Poirier at UFC 299. He tried to rebound after that in front of his home fans in Paris, but an eye injury shut down his headliner with Renato Moicano after two rounds last year. Now he’ll be looking to make a statement after a return to the win column against Kyle Prepolec in May.

Record: 12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC
Opponent: Benoit Saint Denis (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC)
Division: Lightweight
Key wins: King Green
Misc.: Fighting just ahead of his Fighting Nerds teammate Caio Borralho, Ruffy has seven straight wins and stoppages in six of them. In March, he picked up his second UFC bonus with a spinning heel kick knockout of longtime UFC fighter King Green.

Record: 16-1
Opponent: Patricio Freire (37-8 MMA, 1-1 UFC)
Division: Featherweight
Misc.: The Belgium-based Oktagon MMA two-division champ (featherweight and lightweight) brings a five-fight winning streak to his UFC debut. He won the promotion’s lightweight title this past December in a tournament.

Record: 11-1
Opponent: William Gomis (14-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC)
Division: Featherweight
Misc.: Ruchala, from Poland, comes to the UFC as KSW’s interim featherweight champion. The well-rounded fighter went 8-1 in KSW over a four-year stretch.

Record: 25-6
Opponent: Marcin Tybura (27-9 MMA, 14-8 UFC)
Division: Heavyweight
Misc.: The highly decorated Croatian makes his UFC debut at 35 after an 8-3 PFL run that included a $1 million season win over Matheus Scheffel in 2022. The fight with Tybura actually is a rematch nearly 10 years in the making. In September 2015, Delija suffered a leg injury in the first round of their M-1 Challenge fight and lost by TKO.

Record: 10-0-1
Opponent: Rhys McKee (14-6-1 MMA, 1-4 UFC)
Division: Welterweight
Misc.: Apart from having the new coolest name in the UFC, Sola should have his home fans buzzing in Paris. He comes to the UFC as the Ares FC lightweight champion with four defenses of the belt, but he’ll be moving back to welterweight for the first time since 2022.
