Clash of Titans: Mason Jones vs. Bolaji Oki at UFC Fight Night Paris

Welsh MMA star Mason Jones faces Belgian contender Bolaji Oki in a highly anticipated bout at UFC Fight Night Paris on September 6, 2025.

Welsh MMA sensation Mason Jones is set to clash with Belgium's Bolaji Oki in a thrilling lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night Paris on September 6, 2025.

Jones, known as 'The Dragon,' made a triumphant return to the UFC with a unanimous decision victory over Jeremy Stephens in May 2025. The 30-year-old from Blaenavon is currently on a five-fight win streak and boasts an impressive professional record of 16 wins, two losses, and one no contest.

Oki, 29, is no slouch either, with a solid record of 10 wins and two losses. This matchup promises to be a high-stakes battle, as both fighters are known for their aggressive styles and knockout power.

Originally, Jones had expressed his desire to fight in July in Abu Dhabi, but the opportunity to headline in Paris was too good to pass up. This event marks his second stint with the UFC, and he is determined to continue his ascent in the lightweight division.

In addition to the Jones-Oki showdown, the fight card will feature a middleweight bout between Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho, adding even more excitement to an already stacked lineup.

Fans can expect a night of electrifying action as these top-tier athletes showcase their skills in the heart of Paris. Don't miss this epic clash of titans!
