UFC Paris winner

Jacqueline Cavalcanti: Jacqueline Cavalcanti used pressure and octagon control to tear Nora Cornolle to pieces in the women's bantamweight bout. Cavalcanti mixed up her targets and techniques, using her size and reach to frustrate Cornolle throughout the 15-minute fight. Cavalcanti had her opponent on the back foot for most of the fight, keeping her on the fence as she outran Cornolle.

With the win, Cavalcanti is 3-0 in the UFC.

Chris Duncan: Chris Duncan bounced back from a submission loss to Manuel Torres in February with a submission of his own on Saturday, choking Bolaji Oki unconscious in the first round of their lightweight match.

Duncan didn't have the striking skills or power of Oki, but his guillotine choke, which he applied as the two went to the mat after an Oki takedown, was on point.

Duncan had to inform the referee that Oki was out.

UFC Paris loser

Nora Cornolle: Nora Cornolle could not withstand the pressure and length of Jacqueline Cavalcanti. She seemed to want to take the fight to the decisive point, but her inability to get her off the fence prevented her from executing her game plan. Cornolle, who was 2-0 in the UFC heading into UFC Paris, needs to work on getting over the fence.

Bolaji Oki: Bolaji Oki was aggressive against Chris Duncan. Ultimately, this aggression proved to be his undoing. Oki's attack was decent, he showed good power and high power, but he was a headhunter.

Duncan was prepared for Oki's takedown attempt, but Oki was unprepared for Duncan's guillotine, a submission hold that ended Oki's lights out early in the first round.
