Great fight, think Frevola catches him.

Hard to predict this fight, Ziam has made a lot of progress in takedown defense since his last defeat
If he doesn't get caught by Frevola's ko power he can outstrike him easy

I honestly hate Ziam's style. The guy is a pure defensive fighter.

STEAM ROLLA!
gotta root for the fellow LI native

 

[Gabe]

Frevola is gonna fuck him up.

BSD/Frevola on the same card again. Would be cool to see some interaction backstage.

I slightly favor Ziam to stay long and pick his shots.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Frevola got that dawg in him

Fares Ziam is fighting a top 15 opponent at UFC FN Paris (I guess it should be Grant Dawson, low ranking, no recent fight, no fight booked)

Very random bump to share that in a thread about a fight Ziam had last year. Anyways, what's your source?

Ziam in KSW Lyon saying he's fighting a top 15 in the next UFC FN Paris. Dawson and Dariush are the inactive ones, and Dariush is a bit high for an unranked guy (+ same management) while Dawson is #14

Well, I like ziam. If he gets a top 15 opponent, I'll be rooting for him. Looking forward to it. Dawson is a tough fight for him.
