The UFC continues its international travels with a stop in Paris, France, on Saturday, as Accor Arena plays host to a 14-fight Fight Night card topped by a lightweight headliner between Dan Hooker and the debuting Salahdine Parnasse.France's Parnasse (23-2 MMA) enters the Octagon on a five-fight winning streak with six wins by KO/TKO since 2017. On the other side, Hooker (24-14 MMA) has been a lightweight divisional mainstay for nearly a decade and has fought some of the best the division has offered throughout a UFC career that includes nine finishes.Unlike Parnasse, New Zealand's Hooker is on a two-fight losing skid.Despite the opposite directions, Parnasse told UFC.com this week how grateful he is to finally earn a long-awaited UFC shot against a ranked opponent.“I think it’s perfect timing,” Parnasse said via translation. “I’m arriving with maturity; I’m 28 years old; I have all this (experience) fighting in other places, and I have everything I need to show in there in the cage.”Parnasse said Hooker is a dynamic striker, but isn't someone whose style he is unfamiliar with.Dan Hooker Confident Entering UFC Paris Main EventNov 12, 2022; New York, NY, USA; Dan Hooker (red gloves) and Claudio Puelles (blue gloves) during UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden.

"I think he’s a big challenge and I love this challenge."Parnasse added how exciting Hooker's style is, which intrigues him overall.“I think he’s a very explosive guy — he likes to do a lot in his fights — and I think with me, it’s a perfect fight because we’re both two guys that like to go in there and put on a show in the cage," Parnasse said.Hooker agrees with Parnasse, admitting that as soon as the fight was offered, he accepted without hesitation.“No one else plays the game like I play the game," Hooker told MMAFighting.com. "I play on high volatility. I play it on high risk. At the end of the day, I’m a prizefighter. I’m here for the biggest prize and this is the biggest prize that is being offered in the world. I’ll be there with bells on.”With the event taking place internationally, U.S.-based viewers will be treated to an afternoon start.
