Given the stylistic matchup, the key factor will be Ziam's ability to defend against takedowns and keep the fight standing. Fares has more experience competing at a high level and is superior in controlling distance, while Sola will have to take risks and close the distance under fire. If Ziam can neutralize his opponent's takedown attempts, he should comfortably outstrike his compatriot with his hands and legs, allowing him to secure the victory.
