UFC Paris was pure entertainment and allowed several fighters to shine in the octagon. One of them was Salahdine Parnasse who, in his debut for the company, made short work of Dan Hooker and quickly knocked him out in the first round of the main event held last Saturday (5). As he arrived in full force at lightweight (up to 70,3 kg), the Frenchman should enter the top-10 and hopes to face big names next. Therefore, SUPER LUTAS projected what the fighter's next step in the company might be.

Before his UFC debut, Parnasse made his mark in KSW, becoming champion in the featherweight (up to 65,8 kg) and lightweight divisions, and shone in Netflix's first mixed martial arts event. Now, the Frenchman has justified the hype and given the veteran no chance. Excited by his biggest career victory, the 'Kylian Mbappé of MMA' guaranteed he's ready to reach the top in his new home and challenged Max Holloway . And, honestly, based on what the athlete has been showing, he does have the experience and quality to be tested against 'Blessed'.

Michael Page
At the event, Michael Page fought the last fight of his UFC contract and failed to please the fans. The Englishman secured his fourth consecutive victory by defeating Nursulton Ruziboev by unanimous decision, but left the octagon to boos once again. Despite the good results, the 'New Anderson Silva ' has been criticized for his unexciting fights and is at serious risk of having his contract terminated by the company.
In any case, if 'MVP' stays in the UFC, a fight against Israel Adesanya could be attractive, since they are true martial artists. In terms of rankings, the renowned striker, number eight in the middleweight division (up to 83,9 kg), would also be in a position to face Caio Borralho or Gregory Robocop.
Felipe Lima

After suffering his first UFC defeat to Payton Talbott in the bantamweight division (up to 61,2 kg), Felipe Lima bounced back and impressed in the octagon. Against Morgan Charrière, the Brazilian ignored the fact that he was fighting in hostile territory, imposed himself, and won by unanimous decision in his return to featherweight (up to 65,8 kg). Now, the athlete aims to be in a fight that will bring him closer to the top 15 of the division. Therefore, 'Jungle Boy' could test himself against a veteran who, for years, was part of the division's elite: Josh Emmett.

Undefeated in MMA and with four wins in the octagon, Mario Pinto performed very well at UFC Paris . The Portuguese fighter punished Ryan Spann , knocking him out in the second round and proving to be a threat to the top heavyweights (up to 120,2 kg). As part of the new generation of fighters in the category, which needs to reinvent itself, the athlete, ranked 12th, needs to advance. Therefore, this promising fighter may face Vitor Petrino , who is also performing well in the category and is ranked number eight.
