Ryan Benoit has been forced off the UFC Fight Night: Eye vs. Calvillo card this weekend, with Zarrukh Adashev now set to clash against Tyson Nam.

Prior to his UFC debut, the flyweight made his name down in X-1 World Events, Destiny MMA, and Fight Nights Global. Nam’s professional record currently stands at 18 wins and 11 losses.
Adashev will be making his UFC debut this weekend and the flyweight is currently on a three-fight winning streak, beating Christian Medina (via TKO at Bellator 208), Ronie Arana Leon (via unanimous decision at Bellator 215), and Tevin Dyce (via TKO at Bellator 232). Other than Bellator MMA, the flyweight has also competed in Ring of Combat. Adashev’s professional record currently stands at 3 wins and 1 loss.
