Why Fares Ziam will win
Last Fight: (W) Mike Davis – DEC
Last 5: 5-0
Finishes: 10 (5 KO/TKO/5 SUB)
Fares Ziam has the kind of disciplined, range-based kickboxing game that can frustrate ****m Sadykhov over three rounds at UFC 323. With a five-inch reach edge and a diverse arsenal of jabs, teeps, and calf kicks, he can keep Sadykhov at the end of his strikes and deny the pocket brawls ****m prefers.
Technically, Ziam is the cleaner striker, with better shot selection and defense, while Sadykhov often relies on marching combinations and high-pressure entries to break opponents. If Ziam circles, pivots off the fence, and punishes those linear rushes with counters and intercepting knees, he can steadily bank damage without trading recklessly.
