After his fight was scrapped at UFC Vegas 10, Tyson Nam will make a quick turn around to compete on Sept. 19 instead as he faces off with recent Contender Series winner Jerome Rivera.
The UFC announced the flyweight matchup during Saturday’s UFC Vegas 10 broadcast.
Nam (19-11-1) was originally scheduled to face Matt Schnell this past weekend but the fight was pulled from the card just ahead of the official weigh-ins. According to Schnell’s manager, he passed out while sitting just a couple of pounds overweight and he was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.
