Tyson Nam: Ali Bagautinov win ‘was almost like déjà vu for me’

Tyson Nam didn’t have a good start against Ali Bagautinov at Fight Nights Global 64 on April 28, but his spectacular head-kick knockout win didn’t actually come at the very last second of the bout.

Most media outlets and fans were under the assumption the flyweight headliner was only three rounds, but it was in fact a five-round bout, according to Nam and his manager, Jason House. So even if Nam did not stop the former UFC title challenger at the end of the third round, he would have had 10 more minutes to try to earn a win.
