Salahdine Parnasse signals MMA comeback after US debut, eyeing UFC or PFL

Former KSW double‑champion Salahdine Parnasse announced his return to competition following a successful United States debut at MVP MMA 1, where he knocked out Kennet Cross in the first round. The French fighter posted a short “back soon” message on Instagram, sparking speculation about his next organization. Managers and media note his recent criticism of UFC treatment of fighters and his expressed desire to keep boxing options open, which could limit a UFC move. Potential suitors include the UFC – which is slated to hold a Paris Fight Night on 5 September – the Professional Fighters League, and a continued partnership with MVP. Parnasse’s departure from KSW marked the end of a dominant era in the Polish promotion, and his next contract could shape the European light‑weight market.
