Salahdine Parnasse had a perfect debut and was the highlight of UFC Paris . In the main event held this Saturday (5), the Frenchman, a sensation in MMA, took advantage of the fact that he was fighting at home and quickly dispatched Dan Hooker in the first round. As he confirmed his favoritism in an impressive way, the athlete won one of the 'Performance of the Night' bonuses.
The organization announced the awards shortly after the event. Therefore, Parnasse took home a check for $100 (approximately R$ 513 at the current exchange rate). As predicted by many, the fight between the lightweight fighters (up to 70,3 kg) was anything but balanced. In the octagon, the faster and more technically skilled fighter punished the New Zealander with his kicks and punches and won by technical knockout. With this important victory, the biggest of his career, the Frenchman now occupies 12th place in the category's ranking.
