French Lightweight Discusses Lessons Learned Ahead Of His Return To Action This Weekend In Mexico City
Soon after Fares Ziam was booked to compete in Mexico City, his manager reached out to pass along a piece of advice to the French lightweight.
“My manager told me, ‘You need to go one month before your fight because the altitude is too high; you need to be acclimated,’” recalled Ziam, who followed that advice and left his home base in Lyon well in advance of this weekend’s clash with Claudio Puelles in order to ensure that he was fully prepared to deal with the unique challenges that come with fighting in the Mexican capital.
