Opportunities abound for Benoit St. Denis, whose fan-friendly style and compelling backstory have made him a must-see attraction in the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight division.
The 28-year-old Frenchman will draw his first headlining assignment with the company when he collides with Renato Carneiro in the UFC Fight Night 243 main event on Sept. 28 at Accor Arena in Paris. St. Denis, a former Special Forces operator in the French Army, enters the five-round affair having recorded five wins across his past six outings. He has delivered all 13 of his professional victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission, seven of them inside one round.
