• Date: 2025-09-06
• Time: 4:00 PM UTC
• Location: Accor Arena, Paris, France

Game Overview

The UFC Paris event features a lightweight bout between Kauê Fernandes and Harry Hardwick. Fernandes, with a record of 10-2, was originally set to face Fares Ziam, who withdrew due to a family emergency. Harry Hardwick, Cage Warriors featherweight champion with a 13-3-1 record, steps in on less than one week’s notice for his UFC debut, moving up a weight division to face Fernandes. The fight is on the UFC Paris preliminary card.

Key Factors to Consider

• Kauê Fernandes is an experienced lightweight with solid UFC and international experience standing at 10-2. Harry Hardwick brings high-level championship experience from Cage Warriors at featherweight, though stepping up in weight and fighting on short notice may affect his performance.
• No previous fights or direct head-to-head records exist between Kauê Fernandes and Harry Hardwick, making this a fresh matchup without prior fight history for comparison.
• No reported injuries for either fighter, but Hardwick’s readiness could be impacted by the short notice of the fight.
• The bout takes place at UFC Paris’ Accor Arena. Hardwick replaced the local Frenchman Fares Ziam, originally Fernandes’ opponent, which might reduce home crowd advantage for Fernandes. Hardwick’s late signing could affect preparation.
• Fernandes will look to capitalize on home crowd support and a full training camp. Hardwick aims to make a strong UFC debut, motivated by stepping in on short notice and moving up a division to a higher-profile stage.
