Rising prospect Paul Dena delivered an outstanding performance this Saturday, returning to the cage as the main event of Hexagone MMA 34 at Paris Zenith. He stole the spotlight with a first-round TKO victory over Hungarian fighter David Daniel Komar.
In only his second professional fight, Dena wasted no time asserting his dominance. He began by imposing his striking game, targeting his opponent’s body with precise mid-level kicks that forced Komar on the defensive. Patiently waiting for the perfect opening, Dena landed a powerful body hook in the closing moments of the round, sending his opponent to the mat. He then followed up with a series of ground & pound strikes until the referee intervened to stop the fight.

With this victory, Paul Dena records his second professional win in as many bouts, marking another finish before the final bell. Previously, he had defeated Sabir Talmoust by TKO in the second round last May.
At just 23 years old, Denis Navero is proving to be one of French MMA’s brightest young talents, combining technical skill inside the cage with strong fan support. Following this latest success, Dena has issued a challenge to French fighter Anzor Baybatyrov (4-2), who competes in AEC, signaling his readiness to face the toughest opponents and cement his presence on the European and international MMA stage.
Dena’s rapid rise underscores the emergence of a new generation of French fighters capable of competing at the highest levels.
