Guests expected in the VIP Room
During Ares 7 last June, many celebrities were invited to the party, including rappers Kery James and Rohff as well as actor Antoine de Caunes and videographer Mathias Quiviger alias Ragnar Le Breton.
There is no doubt that with the entire American delegation present in the capital for Saturday evening at Bercy, ARES Fighting should still have a lot of good people at the foot of its cage on Friday at the Dôme.
To see if the face of French MMA Ciryl Gane will be present on the eve of such an important fight.
Same observation with the other French people in the running for UFC Paris at Bercy on Saturday evening Benoit Saint-Denis, William Gomis (who left ARES a few weeks ago), Nassourdine Imavov and Fares Ziam.
