Tyson Nam and to a lesser extent Josh Quinlan walked into UFC San Diego with many fans expecting great things from them. Both fighters delivered big time in their respective bouts.

The prelims for the event delivered in all aspects with multiple finishes and decisions that were constant battles instead of one-sided, non- competitive showings.

Two of the three knockdowns materialized in brutal fashion, both needing only one perfectly timed punch, capitalising on one simple misstep from their opponents.

Josh Quinlan KOs Jason Witt

Tyson Nam x Josh Quinlan
Quinlan was incredibly restrained in his follow-up punches at his UFC punches.

Josh Quinlan was making his UFC debut against 19-9 vet Jason Witt. The Nevada-based fighter was a participant in the Contender Series, where his bout against Logan Urban ended in a no contest, he regardless got the call from the UFC. If capitalizing was to be defined, his UFC debut would be the definite answer.

Josh managed to land a perfect left hook, taking advantage of Witt being off balance while throwing a high kick. The punch landed to the mark and knocked Witt’s soul out of his body. The referee stepped in before he could inflict more punishment.
