Dylan Tuke got back to winning ways at BAMMA 32.
Nearly a year after suffering his first career loss in the 3Arena, SBG prospect Dylan Tuke returned to the Dublin stadium to go again.
Tuke showed absolutely no signs of nerves in the early exchanges against English fighter David Khalsa. Losing that 0 only seemed to spur him on to put on a performance for the impassioned home crowd. Khalsa was dropped with a solid left hand and Tuke also threatened with the rear-naked choke in what was a fairly one-sided opening frame, but the Brit did enough to survive until the buzzer.
However, Khalsa didn’t last much longer. A standing battle ensued in the second round and just over a minute in, Tuke faked with a left hand which made his opponent drop his head to the opposite side to avoid it. Unfortunately for Khalsa, his head caught the right shin of Tuke on the descent, who set-up the head kick perfectly to send him reeling.
Once he hit the mat, Tuke gave chase and kept peppering him with shots from the top until the referee had no option but to step in and award the TKO victory.

The result sees Tuke successfully bounce back from that first-round TKO loss to Cameron Else at Bellator 169 and leaves him with a professional record of 4-1.
