As has been the case for several years now, September means a UFC event at the Accor Arena in Paris, featuring UFC Fight Night 287 and an all-French main event between Farès Ziam and Axel Sola in the lightweight division.
This Saturday in Paris, Farès Ziam will look to bounce back from his recent loss to Tom Nolan last June (by decision). “Smile Killer” absolutely must get back to winning ways to prove that this early-summer setback was just a one-off. The French fighter was coming off six straight wins (four by decision) and possesses extraordinary stamina that allows him to dictate a very fast pace. Farès Ziam is expecting a tough fight, but if the fighter from Lyon takes control of the bout, then the outcome could go his way.
Exactly one year ago, Axel Sola made his UFC debut here in Paris with a KO victory over Rhys McKee. Since then, the fighter from Nice has competed in only one fight, with mixed results (a decision loss to Mason Jones followed by a submission victory over Ismael Bonfim). The French prospect has already proven himself in ARES with 5 wins in 6 fights, showcasing all his skills, particularly in kickboxing. This bout at the Accor Arena should mark a turning point for Axel Sola, allowing him to live up to all the hopes placed in him.
