Video: Ex-UFC fighter Nam Phan KOs ‘Kung Fu fighter’
Photo by Xaume Olleros/Getty ImagesSince leaving the UFC in 2014, former TUF contestant Nam Phan has bounced around a lot in his professional fighting career. He popped up in Bellator, briefly, before winning the featherweight King of Pancrase Championship in 2015. He lost that title that same year and has since appeared in DEEP and ACB. He’s also tried his hand at pro boxing; going 0-8-1 between 2015 and 2018.
Last week, Phan padded his record with a different kind of fight; an MMA vs. traditional martial arts showcase. In that bout, which happened at his Nam Phan MMA Academy in Garden Grove, CA, Phan took on a so-called ‘Kung Fu fighter’ who looked larger and much much older than him.
