Fares Ziam is preparing for UFC Paris with a renewed focus, announcing plans to relocate to the United States for training as he aims to restart his path toward a UFC title. This strategic shift comes as the lightweight contender seeks to revitalize his career and make a significant impact on the promotion.
Meanwhile, newly crowned lightweight champion Justin Gaethje has controversially stated that his victory over Ilia Topuria at UFC White House effectively avenged his past losses to Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira. Gaethje's assertion suggests a unique interpretation of his career trajectory, positioning his recent win as a culmination that addresses previous setbacks and potentially setting his sights on a future bout with Conor McGregor.
