UFC Fight Night 243 Bonuses: Fares Ziam Earns $50K for ‘KO of the Year’ Contender

Related Topics: Matt Frevola, Fares Ziam

A picture-perfect knee made Fares Ziam $50,000 richer on Saturday in Paris.

The Kill Cliff FC-trained Frenchman secured one of four “Performance of the Night” bonuses awarded by the promotion at UFC Fight Night 243 for his third-round knockout of Matt Frevola in a featured lightweight encounter. Ziam rendered his opponent unconscious — dislodging his mouthpiece in the process — with a vicious knee in close quarters at the 2:59 mark of Round 3.

Elsewhere, Bryan Battle overwhelmed Kevin Jousset with striking volume to garner a $50,000 check in a welterweight bout.
