Tyson Nam: "I'm the Biggest Puncher At 125lbs"

After an MMA career that spanned over thirteen and a half years, Tyson Nam finally got the call to achieve one of his dreams; to fight in the UFC. However, the short notice fight with Sergio Pettis didn’t exactly go as planned, as Pettis took the unanimous decision victory. 

The UFC may be half a world away this weekend, but Top Turtle is still in the same place as always. 

Fight To Win is  pulling out the stops with this mega-card going down in San Diego this Valentine’s weekend.

UFC Rio Rancho is the overlooked card of the year and Top Turtle MMA is getting you in the know about it. 

The rumor mill has been churning and more than one media outlet has spit out that Henry Cejudo is expected to face Jose Aldo for the bantamweight title come May. The controversy in this call is pretty obvious, with a wealth of contenders waiting in the wings and Aldo coming off of a loss (albeit a close one). Many of the top contenders in the division have voiced their displeasure at the rumored bout, from Aljamain Sterling to Petr Yan. 

Clutch City was treated to an incredible night of fights by the UFC on Saturday evening. A card topped with two title fights with two dominant champions looking to continue their legacy, fight fans packed the Toyota Center as Texas fans always pack an arena for fights. 

A double header of title fights caps off this weekend, but first let a double header of interviews get your week started right. 

Since dropping to 125lbs almost exactly two years ago, Valentina Shevchenko has looked downright unbeatable. She dominated Priscila Cachoeira, decisioned both Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Liz Carmouche, and head kicked Jessica Eye into a different zip code. 

After starting her career in her native Alaska and fighting for Alaska Fighting Championships, Lauren Murphy eventually made her way to Glendale, Arizona and The MMA Lab. At The Lab, Murphy rose to become Invicta FC bantamweight champion and punched her ticket to the UFC. 

Quick break from the UFC grind this week - the last one we’ll get from some time - but there is no rest for the wicked.
