Since Renato Moicano defeated Benoît Saint-Denis in the main event of UFC Paris 2024, Brazil has not managed to beat a Frenchman in a high-profile fight in the organization.
In the 2025 editions of UFC Paris , Caio Borralho and Maurício Ruffy were defeated by Nassourdine Imavov and Benoît Saint-Denis, respectively, in the main fights of the event.
Besides the 'nerds', Alex Poatan also ended up defeated by a representative from France. In the main event of UFC Casa Branca , the former Brazilian champion was knocked out by Ciryl Gane in a duel valid for the interim heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg).
