UFC Fight Night 221: Yan vs. Dvalishvili is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on March 12 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels. The preliminary card of the event will host flyweights, American Tyson Nam and Brazilian Bruno Silva. The fight is planned for 01:00 UK time.
Bruno Arruda da Silva is billed as the favourite but does he have that much chance of winning? Quite a debatable question. Basically, Tyson Nam is much more experienced and has a good chance of winning. Yes, he is pretty old for this weight class but he has looked good in his recent fights. It seems to me, that we can take a chance on an underdog here, because they give good odds for Nam’s victory, but it’s hard to call the Brazilian a clear favourite.
Tyson Nam is a 39-year-old American MMA fighter. He represents the lightest weight class. During his career he has fought 34 professional fights, winning 21 (13 knockouts, 7 decisions and 1 submission). He has spent most of his career in various not particularly top promotions, only coming to the UFC in 2019. At first, he lost his two opening fights to American Sergio ‘’The Phenom’’ Pettis and New Zeelander Kai ‘’Don’t Blink’’ Kara France both by unanimous decisions, but over the next four fights, he scored three wins defeating American Zarrukh ‘’The Lion’’ Adashev, American Jerome ‘’The Renegade’’ Rivera and Ode ‘’The Jamaican Sensation’’ Osbourne, all fairly quickly by knockout.
Bruno Arruda da Silva is a 33-year-old Brazilian fighter. He comes in with a record of 22-8. He has 19 wins by knockout, as well as three decisions and 0 submissions. Competed in UFC The Ultimate Fighter Brazil Season 4 Elimination Fights in 2015, but lost in the quarterfinals to Brazilian Dileno Lopes via submission (guillotine choke). And got to the UFC only four years later, though he lost his first three fights. But from 2021 onwards he pulled himself together and went on a two-fight winning streak defeating American Andrew ‘’El Dirte’’ Sanches via technical knockout (punches) in the third round and American Jordan ‘’The Beverly Hills Ninja’’ Wright by technical knockout in the first round. Now ‘’Blindado’’ stands on a two-fight losing being defeated against Brazilian Alex ‘’Poatan’’ Pereira by unanimous decision and American Gerald ‘’GM3’’ Meerschaert via submission (guillotine choke).
