Tyson Nam hits the octagon for the second time when he meets Kai Kara-France at UFC Auckland.
Another addition to the UFC Auckland card has been revealed. On Thursday, Stuff New Zeleand was first to report that local talent Kai Kara-France was joining the card, where he’ll take on Tyson Nam.
For Kara-France, it’s a quick turnaround after a loss to Brandon Moreno just under two weeks ago. That loss, at UFC 245, was a unanimous decision that ended an eight-fight win streak predating the Kiwi’s time in the UFC. Aside from the loss, he has wins over Mark De La Rosa and Raulian Paiva in 2019.
Tyson Nam (18-10-1), a veteran of MMA who has come to the UFC relatively late in his career, is 0-1 inside the octagon so far. He fell to the since-departed (to Bellator) Sergio Pettis at at UFC Mexico City in September.
