Fares Ziam showed the totality of his mixed martial game and punctuated it with one of the best knockouts all year. Ziam overwhelmed Matt Frevola for most of Saturday's three-round scrap at UFC Fight Night in Paris.

After framing Frevola as he attempted to exit a clinch, Ziam connected with the right knee, knocking his opponent out cold. Ziam followed him to the ground for a few extra punches, but it was clear the fight was already over before that. But as fighters are told, he continued striking until the referee stepped in.

A picture-perfect knee made Fares Ziam $50,000 richer on Saturday in Paris. The Kill Cliff FC-trained Frenchman secured one of four "Performance of the Night" bonuses awarded by the promotion at UFC Fight Night 243 for his third-round knockout of Matt Frevola in a featured lightweight encounter.

The UFC returned to France for a third consecutive September with action taking place at Accor Arena in Paris. Saturday’s 14-bout Fight Night card was headlined by Benoit Saint Denis taking on Renato Moicano at lightweight,

The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday’s card in Paris, including a vicious KO of the Year contender by Fares Ziam.
