Fan favorite fighter squashed by Vicious Knee at UFC Paris

Fares Ziam extended his UFC winning streak to four with a devastating knee knockout against Matt Frevola at UFC Paris on September 28.

Ziam dominated Frevola from column to post with ranged attacks and suffocating ground control. ‘Steamrolla’ Frevola was subjected to multiple blows and some vicious ground and pound, which changed his behavior as the fight continued.

After nearly securing a back-naked choke in the second round, Ziam chased the submission route again in the final frame. As Frevola recovered from a takedown, Ziam brought up a knee that landed picture-perfectly on Frevola’s jaw, leaving him completely flat.

Ziam has been flying under the radar at lightweight for a while, mainly due to his lukewarm performances against Claudio Puelles and Jai Herbert. But now he should enjoy a boost in popularity, and possibly a ranked fight in the near future.
