Saint Denis (13-2 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since suffering a knockout loss to Dustin Poirier at March’s UFC 299 event. That setback snapped a five-fight winning streak for the Frenchman, who had previously earned consecutive stoppage wins over Niklas Stolze, Gabriel Miranda, Ismael Bonfim, Thiago Moises and Matt Frevola.

Meanwhile, Renato Moicano (19-5-1 MMA) enters today’s headliner sporting a three-fight win streak, his most recent being a second-round TKO victory over Jalin Turner this past April at UFC 300. Prior to that, the 35-year-old Brazilian had picked up wins over Brad Riddell and Drew Dober respectively.
