Osbourne was hoping to secure a win over Nam in order to extend his winning run. The fight happened during the prelims of UFC Fight Night: Vera vs. Cruz. This event was held at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California.
The 38-year-old Tyson Nam caught Osbourne with a brutal right hook when the Jamaican was trying to hit him with a flying knee. Osbourne was crashed down to the canvas and was knocked out immediately. The veteran flyweight added an additional punch that put Osbourne’s lights out. The referee stepped in to rescue Osbourne at just 2:59 of the first round.

After the fight, Tyson Nam promised UFC fans that he will be back in the octagon in two months. He also revealed that he would declare who he would like to fight next in his social media account.
