Sola is a French karate stylist from Nice who was ranked the No. 1 pound-for-pound amateur in the world by the IMMAF before turning pro. He went unbeaten through Brave CF and ARES FC, winning the ARES lightweight title and defending it before the UFC signed him in 2025. His Octagon debut was a statement — a third-round battering of Rhys McKee in front of a Paris crowd — before he dropped a hard-fought decision to Welsh veteran Mason Jones in a Fight of the Night war. Rangy for lightweight at six feet tall, he mixes slippery southpaw striking with vicious elbows and ground strikes once he gets on top.
