The UFC Fight Night 243 main event is official after Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint Denis made weight on Friday. Ranked lightweights are set to clash in a five-round bout at Accor Arena in Paris on Saturday ( ESPN+ ), but first both men had to step on the scale and hit the divisional mark. Moicano (19-5-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) registered at 156 pounds for his second octagon headliner, while France’s own Saint Denis (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) tipped the scale at 156 pounds for his first promotional main event. Brazil’s Moicano is riding a three-fight winning streak and is No. 15 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie lightweight rankings
