UFC Paris went down on Saturday night at Accor Arena in Paris. In the main event, Ciryl Gane returned to winning ways with a clinical performance against Tai Tuivasa, stopping him in the third round. The Aussie put up a great fight and landed stinging shots of his own, but the Frenchman was a bit too much for him on the night.
In the co-main event, Robert Whittaker put on a striking clinic against Marvin Vettori, defeating him by a comfortable unanimous decision. The first round was close but the Aussie landed more. Round two and three were completely one sided with the former champ picking apart the Italian.
Elsewhere on the UFC Paris main card, Nassourdine Imavov improved to three wins in a row with an impressive unanimous decision win over Joaquin Buckley, Roman Kopylov registered his first UFC win, stopping Alessio Di Chirico in the third round, William Gomis made a successful start to his UFC career with a majority decision win over Jarno Errens and Nathaniel Wood improved to 2-0 at featherweight with a solid unanimous decision win over Charles Jourdain.
