Fares Ziam: Fresh off Performance of the Night display
Fares Ziam (16-4) had won his three previous fights by decision but he made a real statement last time out as he stopped Matt Frevola with a knee to earn a Performance of the Night bonus in September. That put a marker down for the lightweight who has won six of his last seven bouts in the UFC and his only loss was a submission defeat at the hands of Terrance McKinney. The win over Frevola was the first fight of a new four-bout contract and he will now look to kick on in the division and make some strides up the rankings.
Mike Davis: New Yorker on four-fight win streak
Mike Davis (11-2) showed he had not missed a beat after 18 months out of action as he returned last March to pick up a submission win over Natan Levy. That was his fourth win in a row but his inactivity means this is just his fifth fight in the last five years and he will be eager to make up for lost time after a series of injury issues. He comes off a torn bicep which ruled him out of a fight last July but now takes on Ziam as he looks to make it five in a row.
Fares Ziam vs Mike Davis Prediction
This card has a series of really closely-matched bouts on it and this one between Fares Ziam and Mike Davis is another of those.
Both fighters have won their last four fights and it will be interesting to see who can keep their streak going.
Ziam has been a bit more pragmatic in the manner of his victories and at times he has had to grind his way to victory. Davis has impressed a bit more with a couple of stoppages and he does possess good knockout power in his striking.
There really is little to choose between the two fighters but we like Ziam’s activity. It will not be easy for Davis coming off another injury especially against a high-calibre opponent. Ziam may just be worth a punt and as the marginal underdog, we feel like the value is on him in this one.
Prediction: Fares Ziam to win

Fares Ziam, hailing from France, is a talented striker with a crisp jab and excellent footwork. He has shown great potential in his UFC career so far, with a well-rounded skill set that includes solid takedown defense and slick submissions.

In this matchup, I believe that Fares Ziam’s technical striking and defensive abilities will give him the edge over Mike Davis. Ziam’s ability to control the distance and pick his shots will be crucial in this fight, as he looks to outpoint Davis and secure the victory.
