Tough scenes.<\/p>\n

UFC Paris 1<\/a> – Sept. 3, 2022<\/p>\n

UFC\u2019s first event in Paris, France \u2014 after years and years of trying to get the fight legalized \u2014 was one to remember, specifically because of how loud the crowd was during the main event between Tai Tuivasa and Ciryl Gane.<\/p>\n

UFC Vegas 36<\/a> – Sept. 4, 2021<\/p>\n

Paddy Pimblett\u2019s UFC debut sure was something.<\/p>\n
