For Fares Ziam , Matt Frevola is his biggest fight to date. Ziam (15-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) meets Frevola (11-4-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 243 ( ESPN+ ) main card opener at Accor Arena in Paris. Ziam’s had Frevola in his sights for a while now, and even though “Steamrolla” is no longer ranked, Ziam sees a win propelling him a big step forward. “I called him out like one year ago after my fight in London, and today I’m happy to fight him,” Ziam told reporters at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 243 media day (h/t La Sueur ). “He’s no longer top 15, but for me he’s a top-15 guy, so for me it’s a big fight.” Ziam expects an aggressive Frevola right off the bat but sees his technique making the difference
