A UFC star has apologised to his opponent for punching him after he was already knocked out. Lightweight Fares Ziam beat Matt Frevola at UFC Fight Night in Paris at the weekend. He earned the Performance of the Night after knocking out Frevola in devastating fashion.
The pair tussled up against the cage wall when Ziam smashed a knee into his opponent's jaw, knocking him unconscious. Frevola fell to the canvas lifelessly and the referee rushed to intervene to stop the fight. But Ziam continued and landed a couple of blows as Frevola lay unconscious, and he has since apologised for his actions.
Ziam said: "I’m sorry to Matt that I did that, but I didn’t feel the knockout. "So, I didn’t know at the time he was knocked out, so I am sorry about that." Some fans were impressed by the knock-out but Ziam was criticised by others for punching Frevola while he was down.
