This was the first big MMA event held in France. Since France recently legalize MMA as a sport, Bellator held their first event in Paris, France.

Former UFC fighter, Mads Burnell defeated Darko Banovic in a dominant fashion. Alan Omer and Oliver Enkamp also finished their opponents in first round.

Michael Page defeated Ross Houston in a very low perfomance fight by both fighters.

Ciran Clarke had dominant perfomance over Jean N'Doye, Lucie Bertaud dominated Maguy Berchel. Fabacary Diatta defeated Dominique Wooding in a close fight, but still without doubt a well deserved win for Diatta.
