While Tyson Nam may be best known for a 2012 knockout of a Bellator champion, the 12-year veteran may soon own a little gold of his own. The Hawaiian has found a new home with Russia’s Fight Nights Global promotion, and after a pair of knockout wins to start his organizational run, Nam is once again in a headlining role. “I’m sure we can all agree that Zhalgas Zhumagulov is my most difficult opponent since Marlon Moraes,” Nam told MMAjunkie. “Everyone comes to the fight ready to win, and I always take my opponents very seriously, so I hope Zhalgas is prepared to face the greatest opponent that he has ever faced.” Nam (16-8-1) and Zhumagulov (10-3) meet in the headlining bout of next week’s Fight Nights Global 86 event, which takes place April 1 at Almaty Arena in Kazakhstan. The card streams live on Russian social media platform VK.com.
