UFC Fight Night start time for Hooker vs. Parnasse: Where to watch, live stream
A big-time lightweight battle is set for Saturday in Paris. In the main event, Salahdine Parnasse will make his long-awaited debut against proven UFC contender Dan Hooker.
Parnasse held championships in two divisions in respected European promotion KSW, and spent the previous years proving himself as one of the best fighters in the world not currently signed to a UFC contract. Now ready to debut in the world’s biggest fight promotion, Parnasse gets the chance to break on to the biggest of stages in front of his countrymen.

The main and preliminary cards are worth waking up for. Fares Ziam recently occupied a lightweight ranking. A big win on home turf should put him back on that trajectory. “The Ultimate Fighter” winner Daniil Dochenko, a Ukrainian powerhouse, is favored in his showdown with Punahele Soriano. Further down the card, heavy-handed prospect Mario Pinto fights Ryan Spann, plus longtime fringe contender Nathaniel Wood is in action.
Plus, Michael “Venom” Page returns in a middleweight bout against Nursulton Ruziboev. Page enters on a three-fight win streak and a 4-1 record since making his UFC debut in 2024. Still looking for a true marquee matchup, “MVP” needs a strong showing on Saturday to possibly earn it. Ruziboev, meanwhile, also enters on a three-fight win streak and a 5-1 record since making his UFC debut in 2023.
Below is how you can catch all the action on Saturday in Paris. Also, be sure to check out our full preview and expert picks for the main event.
