Now this is how you snap out of a slump.
On Saturday at UFC on ESPN 10, [autotag]Tyson Nam[/autotag] absolutely obliterated Zarrukh Adashev with a picture-perfect counter right hand just 32 seconds into the first round of their flyweight fight at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Adashev came out with an early mini-blitz, indicating he was ready for a scrap. Which apparently was all good with Nam, who delivered the boom moments later.

“His only chance was to come in hard from the start, but I’m gonna fight fire with fire,” Nam said afterward. “Like I always say, even though these guys can hit hard, I feel like I could always hit harder.”
With the devastating result, Nam picked up his first UFC win in three tries, snapping a two-fight losing streak.
That’s how you do.
