Michael Aljarouj and Fabia Sintes open the card in Paris with zero combined UFC or DWCS bouts between them, so this one gets read on tape rather than track record. The stylistic swing factor is simple: Sintes wants to work the lead leg and stay busy for twenty five minutes, and Aljarouj wants one clean right hand to end that plan early.
Michael Aljarouj
Aljarouj's calling card is standing right hand power, the same shot that got through against Nobre. He is not a slow starter by design, but recent footage shows a more patient opening than the version of him that got caught by a standing counter and stopped earlier in his career. That knockout loss is not disqualifying on its own, since he answered it with a rematch win, but it does confirm a real vulnerability to a fighter who times him walking forward.
The concern with Aljarouj is what happens before he lands the right hand. He has shown unchecked kicks and low early output in exchanges, which means he can spend the first portion of a round eating leg kicks while he looks for his one shot. His own damage history includes documented leg trouble from his loss to Ferral, so a game plan built around his lead leg is not theoretical against him.
Fabia Sintes
Sintes' path is built on sustained activity rather than a single finishing sequence. He repeatedly attacks the exposed lead leg and keeps his output high across a full fight, which lines up directly with what Aljarouj gives away early. He also carries a submission game as a second route if the kicks open up scrambles or a fatigued opponent.
The honest risk with Sintes is defense on the retreat. He has been documented leaning straight back and overextending on entry, and he has been rocked before, against Santos, by a counter right hand of the exact type Aljarouj throws. He has also shown he can absorb a hard punch and keep working afterward, which matters against a fighter who may only get one or two real looks at him standing still.
How the fight plays out
This is a fight between two low output profiles searching for their preferred version of the standing exchange. Aljarouj needs Sintes to plant and lean back so the right hand has a stationary target. Sintes needs Aljarouj standing in range long enough to eat repeated low kicks without checking them.
The pick is Sintes. His path does not require a takedown or a submission to work, just the same lead leg attack he has already shown, aimed at a target with a documented leg vulnerability from the Ferral fight and a pattern of slow, low output openings. Aljarouj's finishing route is real, but it depends on Sintes making the same straight back retreat mistake that got him rocked against Santos, and Sintes has also shown he keeps working after getting hit hard, which blunts the value of one clean landed right hand. Neither man has a UFC level track record to lean on, so the tape edge goes to the fighter whose game plan needs less to go right.
The verdict
Bones takes Sintes. The leg kick to counter right matchup favors him because his path only needs sustained low output pressure on a documented weakness, while Aljarouj needs Sintes to repeat a specific defensive mistake at the exact moment he throws his one real weapon.
