UFC vet Nam Phan rebounds

At Tokyo, Japan’s GRANDSLAM: Way of the Cage, Nam Phan 19-13-0, 2-6 UFC pulled himself out of a three-fight skid with a first-round TKO victory of Kenichi Ito 12-12-8. Phan, a semifinalist on TUF 12, was the victim of some sketchy judging in the first half of his UFC career. However, an apparent decline from 2012-13 would yield up three increasingly definitive losses and see Phan exit the the promotion. The fight this weekend is the first Phan’s had outside the UFC in four years.
