Nams’s older brother, Jason, a professional bodybuilder, was shot and killed outside of his apartment on March 10, 2006. The elder Nam brother was also engaged to his fiancé at the time.

Nam began his professional MMA career in the Hawaii-based promotion, ICON Sport. Nam compiled a 3-1 record in the promotion during 2006 and was then signed to compete in Elite XC, in which he recorded a decision victory. Nam then fought in various other promotions, such as King of the Cage, before he was signed by Bellator Fighting Championships. Nam was signed in March 2011 as a short-notice replacement in the promotion’s season 6 bantamweight tournament, after the original participant, Rodrigo Lima was forced to withdraw. However, Lima was later declared able to compete and was re-entered into the tournament, forcing Nam out. Bellator then apparently promised Nam a spot in the season 7 tournament, according to Nam’s trainer, Phil Claud. However, in June, Nam was informed that the competition had been cancelled and he was released from his contract

After the UFC had tried to sign Nam and been made aware of the contract clause, UFC president, Dana White stated: “When you made the decision to cut him, you cut him. That’s one of the dirtiest things you can do in the fight business. [Tyson Nam] is not going to make or break the UFC. But the problem is, the dirty scumbag moves that these guys are pulling hurts the fighter.” Bellator CEO, Bjorn Rebney, later defended his contractual clauses, saying “The essence of them is that you’re not asking to restrict a fighter’s ability to fight. You’re not looking to hold somebody back from participating. All you’re asking for is, look, if we give you an incredible opportunity to fight our champion in a non-title fight, or we give you a great opportunity to be on TV, we at least want what most promoters believe is fair – the ability just to match another offer. Not to give you less, but to give you what somebody else is offering, and they’re in every single agreement we have, and I think they’re probably in every single agreement the UFC has, as well.”
