Russia’s Fight Nights Global promotion has finalized the lineup for its second event in a three-day span, and a pair of flyweights meet in the evening’s five-round main event.
Fight Nights Global official recently announced that three-time WSOF veteran Tyson Nam (16-8-1) will meet Kazakhstan’s own Zhalgas Zhumagulov (10-3) in the headlining bout of Fight Nights Global 86, which takes place April 1 at Almaty Arena in Kazakhstan. The card streams live on Russian social media outlet VK.com.
Nam is currently ranked No. 15 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings.
Nam is perhaps best known for his 2012 knockout of then-Bellator bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas in a fight under the Shooto Brazil banner. That result earned Nam a WSOF contract, though he went 0-2 for the promotion, eventually losing four consecutive bouts, overall. However, since then, Nam has gone 4-0-1 in a five-fight run, including two straight knockout wins under the Fight Nights Global banner.
Meanwhile, Zhumagulov is currently 4-1 under the Fight Nights Global banner. The lone loss in that run came via split-decision in a failed bid for the Fight Nights Global flyweight title, and he looks to get back into another championship fight with a win over Nam.
Two days prior to this event, the Russian promotion hosts “Fight Nights Global 85: Alikhanov vs. Kopylov” in Moscow on March 30.
