Tyson Nam obliterates Zarrukh Adashev with perfectly timed counter-punch knockout

Now this is how you snap out of a slump.

On Saturday at UFC on ESPN 10, Tyson Nam 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.

Check this out (via Twitter):

“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.
