An exciting matchup of flyweights is headed to the Golden State.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a bout between Ode Osbourne and Tyson Nam will serve as a late addition to UFC San Diego. The event takes place Aug. 13 at the Pechanga Arena and will be headlined by a pivotal bantamweight fight between Marlon Vera and former champion Dominick Cruz.
After a 1-2 start to his octagon tenure, Osbourne has picked up consecutive victories in his new division of 125-pounds. “The Jamaican Sensation” most recently picked up a vicious knockout victory in just over a minute against Zarrukh Adashev at June’s UFC Vegas 56 event.
After a June booking with Tagir Ulanbekov, Nam will be making his first public appearance for nearly two years. Nam will attempt to rebound from his split defeat to Matt Schnell in UFC Fight Island 8 January 2021,, which ended a streak of two fight wins for the 38- year-old.
