For the first time in the history of the promotion, the UFC went to Paris, France. The event was headlined by France's own Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa. While the card was very strong and concluded with Gane knocking out Tuivasa, there was something in the audience that caught fans' attention too.

An audience member was seen devouring a raw baguette, a type of bread that is stereotypically associated with being French.

When fans caught a climpse of the audience member's choice of snack, some couldn't resist pointing this out:

Other fans reacted by comparing their own personal experiences:

Some fans simply showed their support for the baguette devourer:

Finally, all some fans could do was laugh and show their amusement:

While it may be amusing that this particular fan was caught on camera eating a baguette, it should come as no surprise that the French snack was accessible at the Accor Arena.

The UFC may be a promotion based in the United States, but when they travel overseas to put on events, other arenas sell concessions as usual.

It's likely that the man in the image was not the only fan who snacked on a baguette at UFC Paris.


What's next for Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa after UFC Paris?

Ciryl Gane defeated Tai Tuivasa via third-round knockout in Paris. Entering the fight, the two fighters were the No.1-ranked heavyweight and No.3-ranked heavyweight, respectively. With current heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou still recovering from injury, the title picture is currently unclear.

It has been rumored that Jon Jones, who will soon enter the heavyweight division, will take on No.2-ranked heavyweight Stipe Miocic.

The only remaining top five fighters in the heavyweight rankings are No.4-ranked Curtis Blaydes and No.5-ranked Sergei Pavlovich. Both fighters picked up first-round victories in their last fights.

As of now, outside of Blaydes and Pavlovich, there aren't many options available for the two if they choose not to fight opponents outside the top 5.
