But what did they ate to be so violent? The UFC Paris 4 is only in its infancy, but the show is already exceptional. It’s very simple, the judges are unemployed as the fighters are efficient and manage to finish the fights before the limit.
The fight between Kauê Fernandes and Harry Hardwick is the best proof. Admittedly, the Englishman took the fight at the last minute to compensate for the Farès Ziam package, disturbed by the death of his grandmother, but he probably did not expect to suffer as much. Hardwick’s kicks, Hardwick fell in love with the 1st recovery, unable to get up. “I have the best kicks of the division,” said Fernandes while his opponent came out of the cage in a wheelchair.
The previous four duels were just as spectacular. Despite a surprising desire to resist a shots in the 1st round, Brad Tavares ended up letting go of the case in the 3rd round after a demonstration by Robert Bryczek. Trey Waters did not hold more than three minutes against English Sam Patterson and his devastating hooks.
😱 But what did they put in the water of Paris?!

The addition is even more salty for Andreas Gustafsson, at the carpet after 54 seconds. The Swedish, terribly offensive in the first seconds against Rinat Fakhreddinov, was surprised by a hook of the Russian who sounded him. A rain of blows later, the referee stopped the massacre.
But MMA is a complete sport, and Sam Hughes has proven it. The American, impressive on the ground, completely annihilated the talent of Shauna Bannon. She finally imposed herself by rear strangulation from the 2nd round, confirming her ascent to the UFC.
And it’s still the start of this evening. Oumar Sy, William Gomis, Axel Sola, Benoît Saint Denis and Nassourdine Imavov are expected in the cage of Accor Arena.
