Paul Dena: the French MMA phenomenon arrives on Genezys

At just 23 years old, Paul Dena is already one of the rising stars of French MMA. Popular on social media, spectacular in the cage, and ultra-ambitious, the Rennes native has built a reputation as a showman... but above all as a formidable fighter.

‍

And the good news? He's joining the Genezys adventure! 🚀

‍

🔥 A fast track to the top level

‍
Originally from Rennes, Paul Denis Navero—his real name—began practicing judo at the age of 4, earned his black belt, and then completed his training in Olympic wrestling. Inspired by the biopic Notorious, he began sharing his journey in 2019 on YouTube and TikTok, where he now has over 500,000 followers.

🥉 Bronze medalist at the 2024 IMMAF European Championships

💥 An explosive style

‍
An aggressive grappler, Paul Dena combines judo throws, wrestling control, and devastating high kicks. It's simple: he's not here to win on points, he's here to make an impression. In his first professional fight in May 2025, he dominated Sabir Talmoust by TKO in the second round. His next goal: a “first-round finish” in his fight on September 19 at the Zénith in Paris.
