LiontipsFares Ziam - Tom Nolan: betting tip (KEF 2.20) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Fares Ziam is approaching the fight on an impressive streak of six consecutive wins. In recent years, the Frenchman has noticeably improved in all aspects of mixed martial arts and turned from a promising fighter into one of the most dangerous representatives of the lightweight division. In the UFC, his record looks solid: eight wins with two losses.
The last appearance in the octagon ended with an early success for Ziam — he stopped Nazim Sadikhov with a technical knockout. Even earlier, the Frenchman confidently dealt with Mike Davis, and Matt Frevola was effectively knocked out with a knee kick. The 29-year-old athlete has 18 wins in his professional career. Seven of them were won by knockouts, seven more by judges' decisions, and four times he forced opponents to give up. Ziam also holds the titles of the HIT Fighting Championship and Lyon Fighting Championship organizations, as well as the championship belt according to the International Sport Kickboxing Association.
Current form
Tom Nolan is also on a good wave and is coming off a four-win streak in a row. However, his performances are not perfect. Even in successful fights, the Australian often makes defensive mistakes and has already been knocked down twice during this period.
In the last fight, Nolan confidently controlled the course of the meeting with Charlie Campbell and ended it with a painful reception in the first round. The Australian has very unusual dimensions for light weight: with a height of 190 centimeters, he is noticeably superior to many rivals in anthropometry. However, this time his advantage will not be so noticeable. Ziam is only a few centimeters shorter and even has a larger arm span.
At the professional level, Nolan won 12 victories: five by knockout, five by judicial decisions and two by submission. The only defeat so far remains an exception in his career. Previously, he successfully competed in Eternal MMA, although he never got to the title chance.

Tip and bets
The advantage in this confrontation is on the side of Ziam. The Frenchman looks like a more collected and disciplined fighter, especially when it comes to defending and working from a distance. Nolan acts spectacularly and aggressively, but regularly leaves opponents with opportunities for counterattacks. Statistics also speak in favor of the representative of France. He works more accurately in the stance, misses punches less often and defends himself much better. The difference in protection from punctuated hits is especially significant: about 65 percent for Ziam versus 48 percent for Nolan. In a fight against an opponent of this level, such numbers can play a key role.
