After the win, Sola expressed his support for his opponent, Fares Ziam, stating, \"Fares is a f*cking great fighter. Bring your support for him. I hope you like my performance. My job is only to say yes to the matchmakers, so I'm waiting on the offer.\" With this knockout, Sola continues to establish himself as a rising prospect in the UFC.",
