Benoit Saint Denis (14-3-0) and Mauricio Ruffy (12-1-0) will clash on Friday night at Accor Arena in Paris, France. Saint Denis will try to impress his home fans and continue his resurgence in the Lightweight division. The 29-year-old defeated Kyle Prepolec in May to recover from his back-to-back losses against Moicano and Poirier. He already has nine UFC fights under his belt, achieving 21 takedowns, which is impressive for someone who has seen the third round only once.
Mauricio Ruffy, on the other side of the Octagon, is a Brazilian knockout artist. He boasts a 12-1 record at just 28 years old, making him one of the most dangerous fighters in the division. The Brazilian joined the UFC in October 2023, bagging his first win against Raimond Magomedaliev. He went on to win his next three fights, with the latest win coming against King Green in March this year via a vicious KO kick. He's the -200 betting favorite in this bout.

Our Benoît Saint Denis vs Mauricio Ruffy Prediction
Benoit Saint Denis is a strong fighter with well-timed shots. He can apply pressure to his opponents and end this bout early, especially if the fight goes to the mat. His grappling skills were evident when he submitted Kyle Propolec via Arm Triangle in his latest win. However, Ruffy is a nasty striker who can deliver powerful fight-ending shots. He will likely go for heavy 1-2 exchanges early in the fight and hope to knock out his opponent with one clean shot. We expect him to dictate the distance and use his power striking to get another KO win.
Our prediction for Benoit Saint Denis vs Mauricio Ruffy: KO/TKO win for Mauricio Ruffy.
