The UFC Paris fight card is finally official after a flurry of late changes.

Top-ranked heavyweights Ciryl Ganes and Tai Tuivasa will meet in Sept. for the main event in the 12-fight line-up. This marks the UFC’s eagerly awaited French debut.

The UFC officially announced Monday’s latest changes. They include Zarah fairn being replaced by Stephanie Egger due to health issues in a featherweight fight against Ailin Peruz, Taylor Lapilus getting replaced by Christian Quinonez due to injury in a bantamweight bout against Khalid Taha and William Gomis taking on Jarno Errens in a main card featherweight bout. Due to injury, a previously scheduled matchup between Danny Henry and Ricardo Ramos has been cancelled.

UFC Paris will take place in Paris on Saturday, April 22nd at the Accor Arena.

Gane is currently MMA Fighting’s No. 3 ranked heavyweight in the world, while Tuivasa is sitting at No. 5. One win is likely to propel the other man into contention for title.
