There has been one man not named Jon Jones that has been
highlighting headlines across the Internet in the past 24 hours, and he was
relatively unknown beforehand.
That man’s name is Tyson Nam. Don’t recognize it? Start now!
The Oregon born native came in to fight Bellator’s bantamweight champion,
Eduardo Dantas, at Shooto Brazil 33 to be a simple testament to the skills of
the top-10 135er.
Things didn’t exactly go as planned.
Eduardo Dantas came out extremely aggressive, running at him
with a flying knee in the opening seconds. Although Dantas ended up landing
some solid knees and punches, Nam found an opening after taking a huge knee and
landed a monstrous right hand that immediately put the young champ in another
dimension. He went as limp as limp can get, and this was only at the 1:40 mark
of the first round.
Tyson Nam, in extreme euphoria, ran out of the cage and into
the crowd to celebrate a monumental moment in his career that will forever
change the course of his life. Now that sounds a bit extreme, but a KO win over
a top-10 fighter, especially a champion in the 2nd biggest promotion
to hold bantamweight, will get the attention of promotions around the world.
Now lots of people have been talking about letting Nam get a
shot in the next 135-pound tournament that Bellator will hold, but I say nay!
This man deserves a shot in the premier organization of MMA. He deserves a shot
in the UFC and he deserves immediate attention.
