Jordan Espinosa wants fellow UFC on ESPN 10 winner Tyson Nam next on ‘Fight Island’

Espinosa on the fight’s key moment

“I noticed early that the jab was working. In the third, he put a pace on me. I took that opportunity to get some takedowns because he was being over-aggressive. I just kept sticking with what was working.”

Espinosa on feeling comfortable on fight night

“I feel great. My last two fights barely went two and a half minutes each. This was the fight I needed – to go three rounds and get tested. It’s about that time. It’s been over a year since my last win. It feels awesome. I was able to show a wide range of my skills. … It was weird because when I got in there, I had zero nerves at all. I think fighting on Dana White’s Contender Series helped with that.”

Espinosa on what he wants next

“I’m trying to get on ‘Fight Island.’ I’ve never been overseas before. Tyson Nam just got a knockout. I’d be down to fight him.”
