Matt Frevola and Fares Ziam are set to face off in the main card opener of UFC Fight Night 243 in Paris. Frevola, coming off a loss that ended his three-fight winning streak, will look to bounce back against Ziam, who is riding a three-fight win streak of his own.
Frevola, known as “The Steamrolla,” has a reputation for finishing fights early, with his last three opponents failing to make it out of the first round. On the other hand, Ziam has been victorious in his last three outings, with wins over tough competition.
In this lightweight matchup, Frevola’s aggressive style is expected to clash with Ziam’s more strategic approach. Despite Ziam being seen as a tactical fighter, the prediction leans towards Frevola due to his ability to push the pace and potentially take the fight to the ground where he holds an advantage.
The odds initially favored Frevola, but public support has shifted towards Ziam, making the French fighter the favorite going into the bout.
Fans can catch the action-packed fight between Frevola and Ziam at approximately 3:05 p.m. ET, streaming on ESPN+. For more details on the event and other matchups, visit MMA Junkie’s event hub for UFC Fight Night 243.
