The UFC lightweight division just got a little more interesting with the signing of former KSW champion Salahdine Parnasse, and he’s getting thrown right into the fray.

Parnasse (23-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will get a headlining spot against an established contender when he takes on Dan Hooker (24-14 MMA, 14-10 UFC) in a five-round bout at UFC Fight Night 287, which takes place Sept. 5 in Paris (Paramount+).
