Pavel Andrusca Delivers Flawless Octagon Debut at UFC Paris to Extend Unbeaten Streak to 9-0

PARIS — Moldovan prospect Pavel Andrusca turned a short-notice opportunity into a career-defining moment at the Accor Arena, dominating British veteran Nathaniel Wood over three rounds to secure a unanimous decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 29-28). With this win, Andrusca keeps his unblemished 9-0 record intact and announces himself as a dangerous new threat in the division.

Pavel launched his career in FEA CHAMPIONSHIP, where he fought his first two professional bouts—winning the first by unanimous decision and securing a first-round knockout in the second. FEA CHAMPIONSHIP was more than just a contribution; it served as a true launching pad for this young prospect’s career.

Pavel Andrușca is the fourth Moldovan fighter in UFC history (following Ion Cuțelaba, Serghei Spivac, and Alexandr Romanov) and the third FEA CHAMPIONSHIP alumnus to compete in the world’s premier MMA organization (as a reminder, Spivac and Romanov also started their journey in FEA CHAMPIONSHIP).

The blockbuster event was capped off by home-crowd favorite Salahdine Parnasse, who made an explosive UFC debut by stopping Dan Hooker with a brutal first-round finish.
