UFC Paris Gets Matt Frevola-Fares Ziam Lightweight Tilt on Sept. 28

Matt Frevola will lock horns with Fares Ziam in a lightweight bout at UFC Paris.

Both fighters confirmed the booking on social media following an initial report from Marcel Dorff. UFC Fight Night takes place at the Accor Arena in Paris on Sept. 28 and features a lightweight showdown pitting Benoit St. Denis against Renato Carneiro.

Frevola is coming off a first-round knockout loss against St. Denis at UFC 295 this past November. Prior to that, “The Steamrolla” had earned consecutive opening round stoppages against Genaro Valdez, Ottman Azaitar and Drew Dober in the Octagon.

Ziam, meanwhile, has been victorious in five of his last six UFC bouts. In his first appearance of 2024 Kill Cliff FC-trained Frenchman garnered a split-decision triumph over Claudio Puelles at UFC Fight Night 237 on Feb. 24.
