Key takeaways
Nassourdine Imavov beat Caio Borralho by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC Fight Night at the Accor Arena in Paris. Caio Borralho had come in as the division's No. 5. In the co-main event, Benoit Saint Denis beat Mauricio Ruffy, the division's No. 7, by submission at 2:56 of round two at lightweight.
Across the 13 bouts that produced a result, nine ended by knockout, two by submission and two on the judges' scorecards — eleven stoppages in 13 fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Rinat Fakhretdinov, who stopped Andreas Gustafsson after 54 seconds, and six of the eleven finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Axel Sola's knockout of Rhys McKee, 12 minutes and 2 seconds in. End to end, the 13 fights filled one hour and 46 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: seven of its seven results came early, against four of the six above it. Oumar Sy (knockout, round one), Ante Delija (knockout, round one) and Kaue Fernandes (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
Six ranked fighters appeared, and four of them were in the top two bouts.
Seven weight classes were used, lightweight most often with three bouts. ESPN+ carried all 13 bouts, split across a main card and one preliminary block.
