Will take on Jack Shore
Zalal will take on Jack Shore at UFC Edmonton on Nov. 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Zalal is coming off a huge win over Jarno Errens in his most recent fight, which was also his first bout in almost two years. He'll aim to end the year on a solid note against an opponent who owns a 6-2 record at the UFC level despite being part of the company since 2018. Zalal should be the overwhelming favorite for this contest.

Dominates as massive favorite
Zalal defeated Jarno Errens via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:52 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Zalal returned to the Octagon in March after nearly two years away and responded with a brilliant effort in a submission win over a tough customer in Billy Quarantillo. That strong effort made him a massive -500 favorite against Errens, and he didn't disappoint. Knowing full well of his opponent's struggles with grappling, Zalal secured an easy takedown before flawlessly transitioning to the back and choking Errens out. The finish would go on to earn him one of three $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening. Still just 27 years of age, Zalal has made legitimate improvements and is a fighter to keep an eye on moving forward at 145 pounds.

Dominates in return to Octagon
Zalal defeated Billy Quarantillo via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:50 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
When was last saw Zalal in August 2022, he was involved in a majority draw against a quality opponent in Da'Mon Blackshear. He left the UFC and earned three first-round stoppage wins before returning this evening and absolutely dominating Quarantillo from bell-to-bell. Simply put, Billy was unable to keep up or match the physicality of his opponent. Zalal went the full 15 minutes with current UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria back in October 2022, so he's been in there with elite competition. Getting elite training with Marc Montoya and the crew at Factory X in Colorado every day, it would be foolish to write Zalal off just yet.
