A flyweight battle looks to be heading to the octagon next month.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans have confirmed to MMA Fighting that a fight between Tyson Nam and Ryan Benoit is in the works for the UFC’s June 13 fight card. Currently, the event does not have a location but the promotion is hoping the UFC APEX in Las Vegas will be the home base should COVID-19 restrictions be lifted.
Nam will look to pick up that elusive first UFC win next month. “The Naminal” dropped back-to-back decisions to Pettis and Kai Kara-France to kick off his UFC career after competing in different promotions around the world, including King of the Cage and World Series of Fighting.
