Zarah Fairn promises upgrades at UFC Paris after training with Khamzat Chimaev

PARIS – Zarah Fairn has yet to taste victory in the UFC, but she thinks that’s about to change.

Fairn (6-5 MMA, 0-3 UFC) takes on UFC newcomer Jacqueline Cavalcanti (5-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) on Saturday, and she’s a sizable underdog in the women’s bantamweight fight. But she thinks she might have some surprises in store thanks to her training camp. She spent a portion of it working with UFC standout Khamzat Chimaev and expects a new version of herslef.

Fairn talked about that and more at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 226 media day in Paris.

Check out the full interview in the video above. UFC Fight Night 226 takes place Saturday at Accor Arena and is the UFC’s second visit to France. The event streams on ESPN+.
