A middleweight bout will headline UFC Fight Night when it heads to Paris.
Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho will square off in the main event in France on Sept. 6, the UFC announced on Monday.
Imavov, the 30-year-old who grew up in France, is the top-ranked middleweight contender behind Dricus Du Plessis.
He has a 16-4 career record and is riding a four-fight win streak, including his most recent victory by knockout over Israel Adesanya in February at UFC Saudi Arabia.
Borralho, the 32-year-old Brazilian, is ranked sixth in the weight class.
He'll carry a 17-1 career record into the tilt with Imavov after a unanimous decision win over seventh-ranked Jared Cannonier in August.
Live coverage of UFC Paris will be available on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
