Early Fight Week Odds for Moicano vs. Saint Denis Card

The post-UFC 306 fighting break is over. This Saturday, September 28, the UFC returns to Paris for a UFC Fight Night card on ESPN+. In the main event of the UFC Paris event, Renato Moicano will face Benoit Saint Denis in a decisive bout in the promotion's lightweight division.

Meanwhile, top-ranked middleweights Nassourdine Imavov and Brendan Allen will look to extend their winning streak and secure a shot at the UFC middleweight title in the co-main event of UFC Paris.

Moicano (19-5-1) has a record of 5-1 since June 2021. He enters the Octagon on Saturday as No. 11 in the official UFC lightweight rankings.

Benoit Saint Denis (13-2-0-1) also has a 5-1 record in his last six UFC fights.

Saint Denis' most recent victory was a knockout of Matt Frevola in November 2023.

Nassourdine Imavov (14-4-0-1) is the No. 4 fighter in the official UFC middleweight rankings. He has a record of 2-0-1-1 in his last four fights, losing to Sean Strickland in a short-notice light heavyweight bout in 2022, being eliminated after a header duel with Chris Curtis, and defeating Roman Dolidze and Jared Cannonier in 2024.
