Fares Ziam has won six consecutive fights in the UFC and will face Tom Nolan at UFC Fight Night 278.
The death of UFC lightweight Fares Ziam's grandmother has seen him withdraw from UFC Paris this Saturday. Ziam (17-4) had been expected to face Kaue Fernandes at the Fight Night event, in a main card bout. The French star sits on a five-fight win streak that includes victories over Jai Herbert and Matt Frevola, among others. To date, he had fought on (and won at) every single one of the UFC's trips to Paris, starting with the promotion's debut at the Accor Arena in 2022.
