A former interim champion and currently ranked second, Gane suffered a quick submission loss to Jon Jones in their title fight in March and is determined to bounce back in front of his home crowd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Spivac, he entered the top 10 for the first time thanks to a submission win over two-time title challenger Derrick Lewis in February, which stretched his win streak to three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eighth-ranked Moldovan faces another step up in competition in the French capital, where an upset win will see him truly arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"green\">Manon Fiorot v Rose Namajunas<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday, September 2 SA time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The co-headliner of UFC Paris has plenty of intrigue as well as it sees former two-time strawweight champion Namajunas make her flyweight debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the greatest and most popular fighters in women\u2019s MMA history, \u201cThug\u201d seeks to add the 125-pound belt to her legacy and looks to fast-track herself into title contention by taking down the No 2-ranked contender in her first flyweight fight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>France&#8217;s Fiorot, on the other hand, is undefeated in the UFC and will receive a hero\u2019s welcome as she returns to action following knee surgery. A win over Namajunas would be the biggest of her career and set her up for a shot at the belt, so the stakes are high and the crowd will be hyped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"green\">Israel Adesanya v Sean Strickland<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday, September 10 SA time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not the fight the world &#8211; and South African fight fans in particular &#8211; wanted, but the main event of UFC 293 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney is a tantalising title fight in its own right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dricus du Plessis had cemented himself as the number one contender with a stunning knockout win over former champion Robert Whittaker in July but with too short of a turnaround to make the pay-per-view card Down Under, the South African star\u2019s historic grudge match with middleweight king Adesanya has to wait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, \u201cThe Last Stylebender\u201d will defend the title against American scrapper Strickland. \u201cTarzan\u201d is out there, a crass and curious character with no filter, but inside the Octagon, he\u2019s a crisp and calculated striker who won\u2019t take a backward step to the champion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best strikers to ever grace the Octagon, Adesanya regained the 185-pound belt with a knockout of rival Alex Pereira in April and is confident he can run through the tough Strickland to set up the much-anticipated showdown with Du Plessis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"green\">Alexa Grasso v Valentina Shevchenko<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday, September 17 SA time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grasso is a history-maker, having produced one of the biggest upsets of all time to dethrone the dominant Shevchenko and become the first-ever female Mexican UFC champion and she\u2019ll make more history when she headlines the MMA leader\u2019s maiden Mexican Independence Day card at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grasso seized the flyweight title with a nasty rear-naked choke in March and seeks to prove it was no fluke by vanquishing the longest-reigning women\u2019s champion in <a href=\"https:\/\/machibet777-app.com\/ufc\/top-10-ufc-knockouts-of-2022-2022-12-20\/\">UFC<\/a> history in the rematch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shevchenko racked up seven title defences in her historic reign as 125-pound queen and is hell-bent on reclaiming the belt and bouncing back from what was her first loss since 2017 and only the third defeat of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"green\">Rafael Fiziev v Mateusz Gamrot<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday, September 24 SA time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The action will be thick and fast when these two top-10 lightweights face off in the main event of UFC Vegas 79 at the APEX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiziev, ranked one spot above Gamrot at No 6, is looking to rebound from his Fight of the Night loss to Justin Gaethje, which snapped an impressive six-fight win streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Gamrot, who held both featherweight and lightweight gold in KSW, he\u2019s 5-2 in the UFC and aiming to build on his split decision victory over Jalin Turner in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men are pace-pushing predators, so you can bet this will be a banger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="ju52fzvkvd"    style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September\u2019s stacked with stellar UFC scraps to look forward to across four cards.
