In an electrifying night at UFC Paris, French fighter Benoît Saint-Denis (BSD) showcased unmatched dominance over Brazilian Mauricio Ruvi, earning a second-round submission victory in the co-main event of the lightweight division.
The fight started with tactical exchanges, as Saint-Denis controlled the center of the Octagon with precise mid kicks, testing Ruvi’s defense. On the ground, he attempted a rear-naked choke, initially unsuccessful. But increasing the pressure and speed, Saint-Denis successfully submitted Ruvi, securing a victory that could reignite his trajectory in the global rankings.
Both fighters displayed high-level combat skills; Ruvi stunned with a sharp knee strike, but French technique and power prevailed. After the fight, BSD said: “I knew the game plan would work. If UFC can’t find opponents for Arman Tsarukyan and Jamrot, I’m ready.”
This victory cements Benoît Saint-Denis as a top contender in the lightweight division and reinforces his position as one of the leading French fighters capable of making a major impact in the UFC.
