Pinto was the cleaner striker, but Spann\u2019s chin was surprisingly holding up. \u201cSuperman\u201d has suffered some nasty knockout defeats throughout his career so it was a welcomed sight. Unfortunately for Spann, there\u2019s more than just one round in mixed martial arts (MMA). Once the action his the second round that\u2019s when Pinto\u2019s offensive pressure and overall volume became too much for Spann to handle, allowing Pinto to unload for the TKO finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Check out the video highlights below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For complete UFC Paris results, coverage, and highlights click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/e\/468769\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mario Pinto remained undefeated earlier today (Sept. 5, 2026) at UFC Paris LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Accor&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[23556,30,23557,23558,45403,45678],"class_list":["post-75021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-paris","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-paris","tag-ufc-news","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-ufc-results","tag-ufc-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
