LONDON, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On 22 January 2023, HEXAGONE MMA hits the Zenith in Paris as it returns to France following international debuts in the UAE and Germany. Ten professional MMA bouts will be live-streamed across 150 countries, including the UK, USA and Canada via DAZN.

The headliner features former judo world champion, Laëtitia Blot (4-0) defending her flyweight world title against Lithuanian striker Ernesta Kareckaite (3-0).

The anticipated co-main is a catchweight clash between British UFC veteran Chris Fishgold (18-4-1), and France's Yazid Chouchane (8-3) at 73 kg.  Fishgold established his pedigree in Europe as a three-time world champion with Cage Warriors before signing with the UFC where he faced names such as Calvin Kattar.

His competitive experience dates to 2011.

A second UK vs. France face-off sees British pioneer Dean Garnett (9-2-1 ) meet Miguel Haro (9-9) in a 64kg catchweight bout.  Garnett fought at Cage Warriors and Bellator before turning down the UFC to meet Magomed Magomedov at ACB.
