Fares Ziam secured his first UFC finish with a devastating knee knockout against veteran Matt Frevola at UFC Paris, marking his fourth consecutive win and prompting him to call for a fight against a ranked opponent.
Fares Ziam got his first finish in the UFC, and it came in absolutely brutal fashion.
On Saturday, Ziam faced veteran UFC lightweight Matt Frevola. It was the opening main card bout of UFC Paris. After 13 minutes of fighting, he landed one of the most devastating knees you’ll ever see.
For the first two rounds, Ziam got the better of Frevola. He showed superior striking and improved grappling to control most of the action. Then in the third round, Ziam put a stamp on things. In a clinch, he framed Frevola’s head with a forearm and landed a monstrous knee that immediately flattened “The Steamrolla.”
The win is Ziam’s fourth in a row. The French fighter joined the UFC in 2019. Since then, he’s amassed a 6-2 record with notable wins over Jamie Mullarkey and Claudio Puelles. After the bout, Ziam called for a shot against a ranked opponent.
