The night’s headline spot is taken by former judo world champion, Laëtitia Blot (4-0) as she defends her flyweight world title. With accolades also in sambo and wrestling, Blot is to face a compelling striker in Lithuanian Ernesta Kareckaite.
The co-main event presents a catchweight clash between British UFC veteran Chris Fishgold (18-4-1), and France’s Yazid Chouchane (8-3) at 73 kg. Fishgold established his pedigree in Europe as a three-time world champion with Cage Warriors before signing with the UFC where he faced names such as Calvin Kattar. The Liverpool native boasts 13 submission finishes across 18 victories. Yazid Chouchane comes to HEXAGONE MMA following a 46-second victory via strikes at UAE Warriors. His competitive experience dates to 2011.
A second UK vs. France face-off sees British pioneer Dean Garnett (9-2-1 ) meet Miguel Haro (9-9) in a 64kg catchweight bout. Garnett fought at Cage Warriors and Bellator before turning down the UFC to meet Magomed Magomedov at ACB.
