Michael Aljaroueh (13-3 MMA) and Fabio Sintes (11-3 MMA) have been added to the UFC Paris card on September 5, both making their UFC debuts in a flyweight bout. Aljaroueh, 28, has been a professional since 2017 and is a Hexagone MMA champion with one title defense, having earned seven of his victories by KO/TKO. Sintes, 31, turned professional in 2019 and is a two-time defending WOW FC champion with four submission wins and four decision victories.
Two flyweight prospects will make their UFC debuts on the same night, as Michael Aljaroueh and Fabio Sintes have been booked to face each other on the UFC Paris card scheduled for September 5.
Aljaroueh enters the bout carrying a 13-3 professional record and brings considerable finishing power to the octagon. The 28-year-old has been competing as a professional since 2017 and established himself as a champion in Hexagone MMA, successfully defending that title once. Seven of his thirteen victories have come by way of knockout or TKO, signaling a fighter who consistently looks to end fights on his feet.
Sintes steps in on the opposite side with an 11-3 record and a reputation built through sustained regional dominance. The 31-year-old turned professional in 2019 and has claimed the WOW FC championship on two separate occasions. His finishing ability runs in a different direction, with four submission victories alongside four decision wins, suggesting a well-rounded game that can grind out results or find openings on the mat.
Why it matters
- Both fighters are making their UFC debuts, giving the bout extra significance as each looks to establish themselves at the sport's highest level
- The flyweight division rewards technical versatility, and the contrast in finishing styles — Aljaroueh's knockout power versus Sintes's submission threat — creates a compelling stylistic puzzle
- A strong performance in front of a European crowd at UFC Paris could immediately elevate either fighter's divisional standing
