The UFC has touched down in France this week for the first time, and heavyweight and middleweight title contenders are atop the card.

UFC Fight Night 209 takes place Saturday at Accor Arena in Paris. The card streams on ESPN+.

(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)

In the heavyweight main event, Paris’ own [autotag]Ciryl Gane[/autotag] (10-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), a former interim champion, takes on the streaking [autotag]Tai Tuivasa[/autotag] (15-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC), who has won five straight by knockout. Despite Tuivasa’s great run of late, Gane is a huge -650 favorite at Tipico Sportsbook; the comeback on Tuivasa is +420. All but one of our 11 editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers are taking Gane to get back on track after his loss to champ Francis Ngannou in January. (Despite that, our readers’ picks have the fight as the most contentious.)

The co-main event features the return of former middleweight champ [autotag]Robert Whittaker[/autotag] (23-6 MMA, 14-4 UFC) after a loss to champ Israel Adesanya. He’ll take on recent title challenger [autotag]Marvin Vettori[/autotag] (18-4-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC). Whittaker is a -230 favorite at the betting window and has a big 9-2 picks lead.

Also on the main card, [autotag]Alessio Di Chirico[/autotag] (13-6 MMA, 4-6 UFC) meets [autotag]Roman Kopylov[/autotag] (8-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in a middleweight bout. The fight nearly is a pick’em at Tipico, but our staff members have Di Chirico with a hefty 9-2 lead in the picks.

[autotag]Nasrat Haqparast[/autotag] (13-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) takes on [autotag]John Makdessi[/autotag] (18-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) in a lightweight bout that is one of those pre-ordained Fight of the Night-type matchups. Haqparast is a -240 favorite and has a big 8-3 edge from our pickers.

UFC newcomers [autotag]Jarno Errens[/autotag] (13-3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and [autotag]William Gomis[/autotag] (10-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meet in a featherweight bout that has Gomis as a -230 favorite. He doesn’t have a blowout in the picks, but still has a 7-4 nod from our staff members.

And to open the main card, [autotag]Charles Jourdain[/autotag] (13-5-1 MMA, 4-4-1 UFC) takes on [autotag]Nathaniel Wood[/autotag] (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at featherweight in Wood’s second fight in the weight class. Jourdain is a -155 favorite, but our staff pickers have Wood bucking the odds with a 7-4 lead.

In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Gane (52 percent), Whittaker (82 percent), Kopylov (58 percent), Haqparast (70 percent), Gomis (79 percent) and Jourdain (58 percent) are the choices.

Nasrat Haqparast undergoes hand surgery after UFC 271 loss to Bobby Green

Nasrat Haqparast is looking to ensure the best version of himself turns up in his next UFC fight after suffering back-to-back losses.

[autotag]Nasrat Haqparast[/autotag] is looking to ensure the best version of himself turns up in his next UFC fight after suffering back-to-back losses.

Following his unanimous decision defeat to Bobby Green this past Saturday at UFC 271, Haqparast (13-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) underwent surgery on his left hand.

According to the lightweight fighter, there have been lingering issues with the hand for his past four fights in which he’s gone 2-2. He decided to get the damage repaired and revealed on social media that he had surgery this week in Los Angeles (via Instagram):

Finally after the last 4 fights, training camps and years of pain with a broken hand I got surgery from the best hand surgeon in the world. Thank you Dr Shin ! Now it’s time to get healthy, recover and in summer I will be back as a new fighter inshAllah ! I fought my last couple fights with a half body. I’m ready to come back fresh and new !

Haqparast, 26, had won five of six fights since encountering his recent struggles. He fell short on the scorecards against Green at UFC 271 after dropping another decision to Dan Hooker at UFC 266 in September.

The German fighter did not provide a timeline on his potential octagon return immediately after surgery.

UFC 271 medical suspensions: Derrick Lewis gets two months; two fighters out indefinitely

As a result of their UFC 271 bouts, all 28 fighters were handed medical suspensions of varying durations by the Texas commission.

Two fighters are facing indefinite suspensions as a result of their UFC 271 bouts.

UFC 271 took place Saturday at Toyota Center and featured 14 bouts, including a middleweight title rematch between champion [autotag]Israel Adesanya[/autotag] and challenger [autotag]Robert Whittaker[/autotag].

Of the 10 main card competitors, hometown favorite Derrick Lewis received the longest suspension from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for his upset knockout loss to Tai Tuivasa. He now faces two months on the shelf.

Two preliminary card fighters, Marcelo Rojo and Maxim Grishin, were suspended indefinitely. Unlike many other commissions, TDLR does not release injury details, so specific causes for their suspensions are not known.

On Tuesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of medical suspensions from MixedMartialArts.com, the official record keeper of the Association of Boxing Commissions. All fighters’ suspensions can terminate sooner should they be cleared by a doctor.

UFC 271 results: Bobby Green puts on striking clinic in dominant win over Nasrat Haqparast

Bobby Green picked up a dominant win over Nasrat Haqparast, putting on a striking clinic at Saturday’s UFC 271.

HOUSTON – [autotag]Bobby Green[/autotag] is once again building momentum.

The UFC veteran picked up a dominant win over [autotag]Nasrat Haqparast[/autotag] at Saturday’s UFC 271. Green won without controversy, scoring 30-27 across all three judges’ scorecards.

The lightweight bout opened up the main card at Toyota Center, and it was a vintage “King” Green fight.

With his hands down and head forward, Green (29-12-1 MMA, 10-7-1 UFC) baited and countered Haqparast (13-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) for the majority of the first round. Haqparast did have some moments and bloodied Green from the top of the nose. However, Green was able to stay a step ahead and land the better and more precise shots.

The second and third rounds were a very similar story. Haqparast marched forward, looking to land on Green, but the crafty veteran managed to move out the way of most strikes and pick apart Haqparast from the outside. His volume and accuracy grew as the fight went on.

It was a clean and dominant showing by Green. He landed 163 significant strikes according to the UFC’s metrics.

[lawrence-related id=2520180,2520543]

Green now finds himself two wins removed from his most recent defeat, where he lost a decision to Rafael Fiziev at UFC 265 in August. The bout won the card’s Fight of the Night award. Green is now 6-2 in his past eight bouts. His recent win includes notable wins over Clay Guida, Lando Vannata and Al Iaquinta.

Meanwhile, Haqparast was unable to return to the win column. The 26-year-old was coming off a decision loss to Dan Hooker back in September at UFC 266. Prior to this two-fight losing streak, Haqparast was 5-1 on his previous 6 trips to the octagon.
