Leopold Goi took the vacant title in the Hexagone MMA 48 main event at the Zenith in Paris, ending the unbeaten run of Samba Sima, according to La Sueur. Sima had finished all four of his pro fights before the limit. The referee stopped the fight in round 4 as Goi landed heavy ground and pound.
The fight swung both ways. Sima hurt Goi in round 1 and attempted a submission. Goi took control on the ground in round 2 and came close to a submission. In round 3 Goi scored a knockdown, then Sima dropped him two minutes from the end of the round; both fighters recovered.
In the co-main event, Dena went the distance for the first time as a pro after three wins inside the distance.
