Benoit Saint-Denis releases Frenchest video ever hinting at big International Fight Week match-up
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 30: Benoit Saint Denis of France poses on the scale during the UFC 325 Ceremonial Weigh-in at Qudos Bank Arena on January 30, 2026 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Benoit Saint-Denis just teased his return to action this summer, and he basically gave away the opponent too if you know your French slang. Saint-Denis is on an impressive four fight win streak at 155 pounds and currently sits at No.
5 in the rankings. It’s been a minute since he’s fought, though, with the last victory coming against Dan Hooker back in January. Now it looks like the former French Army special forces soldier could be returning at UFC 329 against Paddy Pimblett.
In a new Instagram video made with AI, Benoit looks over a restaurant menu portraying his former opponents as burgers he’s eaten: Le Ruffy (Brazilian beef with salsa), Le Dariush (a beef which has never seen light of day), Le Hooker (fine carpacio beef pounded thin). Then the menu shows what’s next: ‘Le Rosbeef’ aka roast beef. 🚨 Benoît Saint Denis 🇫🇷 tease son prochain adversaire !
🔥 Le Français a faim de rosbeef. 🥩 ➡️ Un prochain combat face à Paddy Pimblett ? 🗡️🏴 (via IG – @BenoitSt_Denis & @BigFernand_FR ) pic.
