Good move from the UFC to return to France?

I’m going with Aspinall vs Gane

I was going to say this too, good old England vs France rivalry. That would be fun. Plus, Aspinall was just on Ariel's show saying he'd go to Poland (for Spivak) and that he likes fighting in other countries. That would be a sick main event.

Sy has a fight coming up in KSW, I'm not sure how many fights he has left with them.

Baki I have a sneaky feeling is going to be on contenders this year.

Losene I think would be a good debut for him.

Cezary I think they should sign but I don't think they'd particularly look for France.

We all know they won't pony up the cash for Parnagoat.

Doumbe is another good one, they will probably sign him. I don't personally have much interest in Doumbe though, he cannot replicate what Pereira did as manufactured as it was. WW isn't a thin division nor is it devoid of strong grapplers...its filled with them. If he takes to MMA well, best case scenario is probably him being a "fun" fighter, but still a great signing. Imagine Doumbe vs Khaos Williams.

Yeah, Lazy King and Doumbe are probably the most obvious ones. Baki I expected to see on the contender series but they might just sign him to the the Paris card if they're going that way around the same time. Oumar Sy is one of many KSW fighters I'd like to see the UFC sign along with Salahdine Parnasse but they'll have to pay real sums for those guys, I don't think KSW let's go of their talent easily. French MMA is getting a lot better.

You going to this event?

I was hoping for Doumbe too. Wasn't the problem last time that he didn't have enough MMA fights to qualify against his opponent (in Frances weird tiered MMA Sanctioning Rules), so they wouldn't allow him to fight? Is that still going to be a problem, or has he had enough fights in between now to be at the show?
 
Oumar Sy, Cezary, Baki, Keita, Lazy King. It's a good excuse to scoop up a lot of these guys if they're available. If they had a time machine they could have went back in time and signed Barnaoui too.

Baki I have a sneaky feeling is going to be on contenders this year.

Losene I think would be a good debut for him.

Cezary I think they should sign but I don't think they'd particularly look for France.

Here is what we have a chance to see.

Fiorot for the title in main event
Gane vs Aspinall, biggest european fight to make atm
Return of Taylor Lapilus
Debut of Cedric Doumbe and Lazy King
Debut of Baysangur "baki" Chamsourdinov, not very likely, but Baki vs Doumbe would be absolutely wild in the crowd, people's main event
Benoit St Denis vs Paddy (very low chance of Paddy taking that fight though)
What about Parnasse? He’s fighting on KSW’s big Colosseum event in June

Don’t think it’ll be a problem now. He’s 4-0, so can fight people with up to 10 fights (or 11, in case he fights another time before September)

Oh good, I'm hoping to see him on the card then, I'll have to keep an eye on it as they start building it.

Parnasse will be a similar to Soldic situation, KSW will offer him 200k or more per fight to stay similar to Soldic. Unless Parnasse is just dead set on going to the UFC and willing to take a pay cut like Gamrot. Also not sure what's left on his contract. We all want Parnasse though :(
 
Happy to see the UFC on the road again but why back to Paris already? I fear what used to be a genuinely international circuit will now just be Vegas, Texas, London, Paris, with an Australia or Canada thrown in every other year. Why are the majority of events still being held in the Apex?
 
Should make the frogs announce everything in English.


And there's nothing great about France other than Juliette Binoche and Zinedine Zidane ( and he's fucking Algerian!).

That's the country of sauce bearnaise and the citroen C15. Educate yourself, peasant.

The girls are banging. I have a strangely high success rate with them. I think it might be because I apparently look quite French. Pointy nose, dark features overall but with blue eyes. Dress sense apparently too. Maybe I look close enough to be familiar while also looking foreign?! Haha.

I like the older french women too. They're all classy and dirty...literally all of them. ;)
