If UFC lightweight Farès Ziam wasn’t on your radar at the start of last year, he’s certainly hard to ignore now after two dominant wins in 2024 – highlighted by a spectacular knockout in Paris.
The 155-pound division has historically been one of the most stacked weight divisions in the UFC, and Ziam’s emergence as a rising prospect has been impossible to overlook. He’s currently riding a four-fight win streak dating back to September of 2022, which includes victories over Michal Figlak, Jai Herbert and Claudio Puelles. None were as impressive, however, as his most recent outing against Matt Frevola in September.
