The UFC is zoning in on its debut event and France and it has a physically large main event it’s planning to bring with it.
Heavyweight contenders Ciryl Gane (10-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Tai Tuivasa (15-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) will square off in a five-round headliner at the Sep. 3 event, expected for Paris.
Two people with knowledge of the booking confirmed Saturday the matchup to MMA Junkie after an initial report by MMA reporter Ariel Helwani but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
