FIGHT WINNER
Fares Ziam
⚡67%
While Joanderson Brito possesses explosive power and a dangerous grappling game, Fares Ziam's recent form, improved fight IQ, and strong takedown defense make him a challenging opponent. Ziam has demonstrated the ability to stay composed under pressure and effectively counter grapplers, as shown in his split decision win over Claudio Puelles despite multiple takedowns. His technical striking and consistent output would likely allow him to defend Brito's initial onslaught, maintain distance, and outpoint him over three rounds. Brito's recent losses against Pat Sabatini and William Gomis, both of whom presented challenges in either grappling defense or technical striking, suggest that Ziam's well-rounded and disciplined approach could neutralize Brito's strengths. Ziam's six-fight winning streak further underscores his current momentum and refined skill set.
