Ziam on the fight’s key moment

“It was a good fight. Mike Davis is a tough guy. I broke my (left) hand in the first round, so I couldn’t strike. I thought he was afraid of my striking and he came to try to take me down, but I’m OK – I have good wrestling.”

“My corner said, ‘Hey, why aren’t you striking?’ I didn’t say anything because I wanted my corner to stay calm, so I went to the wrestling. I know my jiu-jitsu is great, and my wrestling, too.”
