BENOÎT SAINT DENIS

Benoît Saint Denis is a French lightweight fighter who trains with the Bulgarian Top Team. Drawing on his background as an elite soldier in the French Special Forces, he relies on a grappling-heavy approach defined by aggressive pressure and submission skills. The southpaw is known for his ability to end fights decisively, as he has never had a professional victory decided by the judges. His career achievements feature a run as the Staredown FC Welterweight titleholder along with multiple performance bonuses collected in the UFC.

Heading into this bout with a record of seventeen wins, four losses, and a single no-contest, Saint Denis is looking to recover from a technical submission loss to Paddy Pimblett in July 2026. Before that defeat, he was on a four-fight tear, finishing opponents including Dan Hooker, Beneil Dariush, Maurício Ruffy, and Kyle Prepolec.
