A newly signed France did compete on the UFC Ultimate Fighter 24, making it to the quarterfinals before losing to Alexandre Pantoja. The fighter comes to the UFC while riding a five fight winning streak, defeating Rodolfo Marques, Ze Wu, Qileng Aori, Huoyixibai Chuhayifu and Xiaoyu Shi.

There is no word given yet on when France would make his official UFC debut or whom the opponent would be on that night.
