Fares “Smile Killer” Ziam (10-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC)

Lightweight (155lbs): 0-1 (UFC)

Fares Ziam missed weight about three years ago in September of 2017, for a lightweight bout, coming in at 158.5lbs.

Fares is very young at just 23 years old. He already has quite a professional MMA career including a fight at middleweight and a couple of fights at welterweight (though at the very beginning of his career).

Ziam is 6’1″ and has a 75″ reach usually giving him a reach advantage against most lightweights. Ziam will compete in his second UFC fight and look to secure his first win when he takes on Jamie Mullarkey at 155lbs on October 17.
