Tyson Nam and his improbable road to the UFC
Tyson Nam WSOF/PFL After 13 years of competing professionally in MMA, the Hawaiian fighter can now say he’s a UFC fighter. Nam signed with the Las Vegas-based promotion in August and he makes his debut against flyweight contender Sergio Pettis at UFC Mexico City on Saturday.
The opportunity to compete in the UFC could have came much sooner and more than once in Nam’s career. But for many different reasons, the lights of the Octagon avoided Nam until now.
