After going 2-4 in the UFC&#8217;s featherweight division, Phan decided to drop down a weight class to bantamweight. Unfortunately for Nam, his 135-pound debut proved unsuccessful, as he was defeated by Takeya Mizugaki at December&#8217;s &#8220;UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Silva&#8221; event in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Phan&#8217;s newly announced opponent, Vaughan Lee, will also be looking to get back in the win column this March, as his last bout ended in a submission defeat at the hands of Raphael Assuncao at June 2013&#8217;s &#8220;UFC on FUEL TV&#8221; event in Brazil. Prior to that, Lee defeated Motonobu Tezuka at last February&#8217;s &#8220;UFC on FUEL TV&#8221; event in London.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament final bouts from the &#8220;TUF China&#8221; show were also announced, as Wang Sai (6-4 MMA) will meet Zhang Lipeng (6-7-1 MMA) in the welterweight final, and Yang Jianping (6-3-1 MMA) will collide with Ning Guangyou (3-2-1 MMA) in the featherweight finale bout.<\/p>\n<p>The&#8217; TUF China: Finale&#8217; takes place on March 1 live from The Venetian at Macao\u2019s CotaiArena.
