Matt Frevola planning to bring Fares Ziam into a “dogfight” at UFC Paris: “He will finally have an exciting fight”

Matt Frevola plans to finish Fares Ziam at UFC Paris
“He’s gotten those wins. A lot of them have been close, but he’s been able to get the W. He’s a smart, intelligent striker and uses his high fight IQ to squeak out those wins. But, that’s not how I fight, I go in there looking for the finish. If he thinks he’s going to be skating and landing his jab and making it boring, that is not how I fight. He will finally have an exciting fight, fighting me,” Frevola added.

Although Matt Frevola is planning for an exciting fight at UFC Paris, he knows he still has to be smart against Fares Ziam. The American believes he’s the better overall MMA fighter which will help him get the stoppage win.

“It’s going to be a fight. He will try and outpoint me, and I’m going to come in there and look to finish him. I’m well-rounded, I can wrestle, I can strike, good jiu-jitsu and I plan on using all my weapons against him. It’s not going to be a pretty kickboxing fight like he wants. It’s going to be a dog fight,” Frevola said.

Should Frevola get the stoppage win at UFC Paris that he’s after, the goal is to get a big-name opponent next.

“Who knows with those rankings, I know I have fought some of the best guys in the world, I’ve beaten some of the best guys in the world and I know I belong. All I can do is focus on being my best and showing that. With a win in Paris, I’m looking to keep climbing the ranks and get a good fight scheduled.”
