A new flyweight bout has been added to this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 11 as Tyson Nam will take on Jerome Rivera.
Nam is coming off his victory over Zarrukh Adashev at UFC on ESPN 10 last month. Overall, the flyweight has only one win in his UFC career thus far as Nam was beaten by Sergio Pettis (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 159) and Kai Kara-France (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 168). Nam’s professional record currently stands at 19 wins and 11 losses.
Rivera is fresh off his contract win on Dana White’s Contender Series and the flyweight enters the contest in the midst of a three-fight winning streak. The 25-year-old has been fighting professionally since 2014 and his impressive victories in King of the Cage and Legacy Fighting Alliance have made him one of the top young prospects in the 125-pound division. Rivera’s professional record currently stands at 10 wins and 2 losses.
