  "account": "In a violent conclusion to an all-France showdown, UFC Fight Night 287's co-main event saw lightweight fighters Axel Sola and Fares Ziam trade back-to-back fights that went the distance. The crowd at Accor Arena in Paris eagerly anticipated an exciting finish, and Sola delivered with a knockout blow at 1:40 in the opening round. Ziam, pressing forward, was caught off guard when Sola grabbed his leg with his right hand and followed through with a powerful punch to the jaw. Ziam was knocked out on impact and quickly sent to the ground by Sola, who then continued to land follow-up shots until the referee intervened. This marks Sola's second first-round stoppage of the night, with his previous victory coming from a submission against Ismael Bonfim in July. Ziam's losing streak now includes a unanimous decision defeat against Tom Nolan in June, ending a six-fight winning streak.",
