UFC Paris 2023 was a success on all fronts. In addition, the profits of the American organization surpassed those of last year.
The second edition of UFC Paris kept all its promises, and more. The event saw seven French people out of nine leave with victory (counting the Franco-French clash between William Gomis and Yanis Ghemmouri). Ciryl Gane, Manon Fiorot, Benoît Saint-Denis, William Gomis, Morgan Charrière, Taylor Lapilus, Nora Cornolle… They all left victorious.
In addition to the XXL performances (see all the results here), the public was present, like last year, to set the Accor Arena on fire. UFC Paris 2 is a total success: on a sporting level, the atmosphere of the evening and even the UFC revenues.
Sales figures have been revealed. Like last year, the UFC was a hit. The organization even sold more tickets and made more profits. The Accor Arena was full. 205 additional places were sold compared to 2022, all for $4 million raised. These greater profits are also due to the price of tickets which cost more this year (around ten euros).

With such an evening, there is no doubt that the UFC will want to return to French soil. The American organization plans to hold several events per year in France, in Paris and other cities. However, in 2024, the arrival of the UFC in Paris risks being compromised with the holding of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in July, August and September.
