“I was looking for local fighters for the Reims event,” Hexagone MMA matchmaker and sport director Mathieu Nicourt said. “We had been talking for a while with Anthony Dizy and in conversation, he told me that he was tempted to fight again in his home city. I am very happy to have convinced him to sign for a multi-fight deal.”
