Goi's win ended the unbeaten run of Samba Sima, who had finished all four of his pro fights before the limit. The fight swung both ways: Sima hurt Goi in round 1 and attempted a submission, and 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 round 4 Goi landed heavy ground and pound and the referee stopped the fight, according to La Sueur.
For Dena, the decision over Labid was a first win on the scorecards after three wins inside the distance. He was coming off the first loss of his career, a first-round KO against Anzor Baybatyrov on June 12 at Hexagone MMA 45 in Lyon, and the win avoids a second straight defeat.
Labid had built a finishing profile with earlier wins by TKO. Both men entered the Paris card at 3-1.
No next bouts for Goi, Sima, Dena or Labid have been announced.
