Tale of the Tape

Ziam prefers to strike from the outside, using a long guard, a sharp jab, and frequent low kicks and teeps while looking to land counter right hands when opponents rush in.

Nolan is a tall, rangy southpaw who relies on his length, creativity, and constant movement to create openings and land strikes from unusual angles.

• Age - 29 vs 26
• Height - 6'1" (185cm) vs 6'2" (188cm)

Betting Markets to Watch

Ziam is the moderate favourite heading into this lightweight bout between the pair inside the Octagon, one of the most competitive UFC weight divisions.

He will enter the cage on the back of six consecutive wins, and is considered by most to be better than Nolan in all aspects.

When looking for alternative value, there may be better value in the ‘Method of Victory’ markets.

Ziam to win by decision should offer some value, as his range management, kicking game, and measured approach should allow him to outpoint Nolan over three rounds. He has six wins across his eight UFC fights by this method.

By extension, we think there’s going to be value in the ‘ Fight to go the Distance ’ market.

Our UFC tips and predictions have Ziam as the likely winner, with a win by decision offering good value.

However, if you’re looking for a long shot, we think Ziam by TKO/KO could be worth looking out for.

He has two wins by this method in his UFC fights, but six overall in professional MMA. Nolan has been beaten by this method, which was how he was stopped in his last defeat.
